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

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.

Mozilla has defeated Microsoft’s default browser protections in Windows
What I really want is a way to tell Windows to open a different application for the file or URL type based on the application it comes from. I run a dedicated browser for work that proxies all its traffic across an SSH SOCKS proxy, and really just want clicks from Outlook and Teams to load in it, and everything else to load in Firefox.
Instead, I wrote a little thing myself[1] to make a distinction based on the pattern matching the URL. I took the chance to learn a bit more about Deno and deploying standalone apps, which I don't regret, since it was actually super easy, but I still wish I didn't have to. (Note: that utility isn't quite ready to be used easily, it needs to default the config file to a more standard location for the user to be easily useful as an filetype/URL target).
