It's the price you pay for still using Windows in 2025.
I call it the idiot tax.

When I used Edge in 2020-2021 it was a great browser. I installed windows again recently and edge is completely ruined. Why did they destroy one of their most important tools?
>>
>>106703730

i can't even set my default browser to begin with
>>
>>106703730
install it with EEA region, or tweak the settings yourself so you get zero annoyances or nagging, most of it is inside the Settings -> Notifications tab, and Settings -> Privacy & Security tab, or just simply use Edge like a good little gentile incapable of using his brain to control his OS.

Yes.

How does "an app" cause "a problem" with your default browser setting?
Did it try to change it? Did it try to add parameters to it? Could the OS just block those and keep the default browser setting as it was?
>>
>>106706239
Someone installed a shite browser
Windows tried to open a link with the default browser
The shite browser crashed
Windows recognized that and unset it
/G/ complains this is terrorism

>>106703730
Why would it be illegal, you fucking idiot? if you don't want to get fucked in the ass by your OS, don't install FuckMeInTheAssOS on your computers. It's literally that simple.
>there should be laws restricting personal freedom for everyone, so that the company that I paid to fuck my ass isn't allowed to fuck it

There are intentionally undocumented Windows mechanisms Microsoft uses to set the default browser to Edge. I know at least for Firefox, Mozilla developers reverse-engineered the mechanism & use it to let you set Firefox as the default browser in-app, which makes Microsoft screech (they want to add friction to the process so they try to force the user to use the Settings app to change the default browser, hoping the average user is too retarded to accomplish this). Presumably Microsoft now tries to detect "mis-use" of the mechanism & undoes the change, under the guise that "a problem was detected" (the problem being that an application tried to use undocumented APIs).

>>
>>106707560
Just like it is on the user for installing microshart bindows, it should be on the user to decide whether to use fuckass browser over edge.
>>
>>106707560
So will Windows unset Edge if I make it crash when opening a link?
