Where do these buttons come from? I get them when hovering over certain links.
I used to use Bing to DuckDuckGo in conjunction with EdgeDeflector to ensure all links that open Edge and Bing redirect to Firefox and DDG instead, but EdgeDeflector no longer works now, so I guess I don't need that extension anymore. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't realized till now that the extension wasn't necessary anymore.

The dark defaults of Microsoft Edge
There's also the dark bit where changing your default browser in Windows doesn't apply globally.
That is, some UI widgets will still open Edge even if you change the default.
There used to be an awesome open source project called EdgeDeflector that would fix that. Microsoft got wise to it and found a way to neutralize it, which killed the project. https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector
- It May Not Look Like Much, But it’s Got it Where it Counts.pretty much all of those are.

How to redirect Windows 11 Microsoft Edge links to Firefox or Chrome (working as of Jan 2023)
1) Install EdgeDeflector. (Note: Edge deflector is deprecated without the next fix. You no longer need to browse into Default Apps to select EdgeDeflector).

I own my PC, btw
It’s a very intentional thing that Microsoft ignores the default browser in many cases. They’ve already killed one workaround tool that fixes this: https://github.com/da2x/EdgeDeflector

search from win logo opens internet search results in EDGE, my default browser is chrome.
Idk if Edgeeflector can actually overcome this but it worth a try yk

How to set Firefox as your default browser on Windows
*cough* edgedeflector *cough*
-
Pretty sure that Microsoft created this context menu to promote Search with Bing.
It probably opens Edge anyway, so you could use EdgeDeflector to handle the browser opening.

Barely uses 2.8 GB RAM
Not the OP of the comment to which you replied, there’s several but maybe he’s talking about Windows On Reigns. Just be careful that the default settings are very extreme. They disable windows appx support, so no Microsoft store, or similar things. Also it disables the event scheduler, so certain apps will cause errors when trying to add themselves to startup and stuff like that (which is the point) but if it’s something you want it won’t work, like let’s say MSI afterburner starting with windows and applying your pc settings. My suggestion is going through the config part of the script and adapting it to your needs.

Wifi disabled using a powershell script
I downloaded a powershell script from https://github.com/gordonbay/Windows-On-Reins/blob/master/wor.ps1 to harden my windows installation, and I ran it accidentally without changing the default configurations. Now my WiFi not being detected or shown in the taskbar. it's not a driver issue as i can see the wifi settings in the network adaptor section of control panel.
