MSEdgeRedirect VS pop

I use this: https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect and am very satisfied.

> Maybe I'm nuts, but the start menu's web search results seem to ignore default browser settings and only open in Edge

You’re correct on that, Microsoft created a new link type ‘microsoft-edge:’, so that no matter what browser you use. Query’s from the search bar always get sent to Edge. They pulled a very similar move with Outlook where it now opens all links in edge, instead of in the users default browser. But for now, you can still toggle that setting back.

If you want windows searches to open in your default browser, you have to use https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect

That should fix it, right?

I use it for quite a long time now and it works with the search bar in the startmenu.

I recommend using MSEdgeRedirect. https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect Edge will still be installed, but it'll never be used and even the Windows Edge links will redirect to your preferred browser. It works very well.

Bonus points if you use MSEdgeRedirect to completely circumvent Edge systemwide

For those of you that want to get rid of Edge once and for all, download MsEdgeRedirect

One of my favorites was this one where they told us:

Using controllers with Steam's flatpak is impossible without steam-devices. Installing steam-devices with apt also installs Steam's .deb. Uninstalling Steam's .deb completely removes PipeWire. I have found this issue on GitHub from six months ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet. I'm surprised there are still issues with Steam on Pop!_OS after what happened last time.

I have experienced a similar problem as this issue
