EdgeDeflector VS qutebrowser

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.

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

1) Install EdgeDeflector. (Note: Edge deflector is deprecated without the next fix. You no longer need to browse into Default Apps to select EdgeDeflector).

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

Idk if Edgeeflector can actually overcome this but it worth a try yk

*cough* edgedeflector *cough*

It probably opens Edge anyway, so you could use EdgeDeflector to handle the browser opening.

I don'r know if this counts but there is also https://www.qutebrowser.org/ which uses qt webkit IIUC

I searched this issue and saw there were already open issues on github, and it is an upstream issue with QtWebEngine.

You can add [aria-haspopup] to your hints.selectors setting (from a config.py, see the configuration docs) to get the same effect.

There is a small how-to here: Switching to Qt 6 by default · Issue #7202 · qutebrowser/qutebrowser

There is a Qutebrowser user script for 1password: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/qute-1pass. Disclaimer: I am the original author (it’s been refactored a lot by mkonig since I originally wrote it). My original version is here https://github.com/tomoakley/dotfiles/blob/master/qutebrowser/userscripts/1password

Glad to hear! You'd either add it to the userscripts folder in the repo, or add a link to the README about it and host it elsewhere.

It seems to work fine with Qt 6, so I guess this is just some missing feature on Qt 5. Maybe something changed on Wikipedia's side.
