Microsoft Relents, Allowing Users to Embrace Their Preferred Browser in Windows 11

For too long, Windows 11 users have experienced the frustration of having their preferred web browser preference overridden by Microsoft’s Edge. Clicking on a link from various parts of the computer, whether it’s within another app or a news reader, would invariably open it in Microsoft Edge, regardless of your chosen default browser. It’s a situation that has irked many, but the winds of change may be blowing.

This development spells good news for those who’ve grown weary of Microsoft’s persistent attempts to steer users towards Edge, often at the expense of more favored browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox.
