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).
- Web-Standard Frontpage Layout (Template)

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.

Scripts to build a trimmed-down Windows 11 image
https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater
Development stopped in 2021 tho.
- Desktop PC running pretty badly

Windows 11 will just randomly freeze at times for a few seconds, go blank and come back
Stuff has been uninstalled from Settings and Control Panel and CTT's Utility (to enable some settings I would've enabled through Terminal commands already) and Sycnex's Debloater (to uninstall some apps) have been used. It's nothing major as I only uninstalled apps I could download from the store if necessary and made sure not to delete any major system components except Edge maybe. I have read through every menu and setting any of these utilities has brought up thoroughly to ensure I didn't do so. I believe I did my research before enabling/disabling a setting.
