You're not the only one. Microsoft intentionally makes it difficult to change your default browser — and one of their tactics is by continuing to open links in Edge despite user settings.

(said no one ever)

Did you know this isn't just a bug? It's actually an intentional, manipulative tactic designed by Microsoft to make it difficult for Windows users to switch their default browser.

Wild how they get away with that, isn't it?

Thank you for continuing to shed light around this issue!

Ah yes, classic Microsoft move — making it intentionally difficult for users to make their own choices.

We love a browser that respects its users' choices. 👏

This is what it's all about. Digital markets are global, and so we must find ways to maintain fairness and openness across jurisdictions.

We love to see it! Thank you for continuing to fight for browser freedom.

Yes! This is why we're fighting for a fair and open browser market — so Microsoft's dominant OS doesn't impede consumer choice and hinder smaller businesses and developers from a fair shot at contributing, innovating and thriving.
