Microsoft is making it harder to switch default browsers in Windows 11

Once I got it configured, and got Candy Crush to quit loading, I have been quite satisfied with Windows 10.  But if this is the new normal from Microsoft, I may have to go back to Linux.

" ignores browser defaults in new areas of the operating system"

I notice this with Win 10. There are places where you get pushed to Edge no matter what. Help file links, I think.

> I notice this with Win 10.

I think the same.  This little weather/news widget that showed up after some Win 10 update. If you click on a link it opens in Edge Live.
