    Important part from the article:

    Windows users can still change their default browser through the Windows settings.

      You mean the windows setting sthey keep changing and burying the easy to use features with bloated garbage and 12 menus deep?

      I still to this day right click the sound icon in the taskbar and and click sounds to modify my sound settings rather then that mess of shit they call ‘sound settings’

          The point is that the 20+ year old Sounds settings are still much easier to use than the new bullshit settings UI that keeps changing all the time.

          I can’t find shit in the Windows 8/10/11 settings and still use the old settings wherever possible.

      Until it gets overridden by an update. Not to mention most users won’t click though the popups telling users Edge is better

        Having had win11 installed for approximately a year, my default browser (Firefox) has never been changed by an update.

          Count yourself lucky then. I run Windows 11 in several VMs and unless you spend a bunch of time turning off all the popups its unusable. You still can’t get rid of Edge in the start menu (it always opens edge when you mistype) and Edge always says “recommended”

          On top of that Edge always has a ton of things to click though before you can close it.
