    The web browser would offer to do it for you. Know it can’t. The Unser knows has to navigate through the settings.

    I won’t be surprised if Microsoft still makes it possible for edge to change the default without the user going into the settings.

        Where they now have to click on the right combination of 8+ browser choice menus (and Microsoft keeps adding more by splitting out various custom protocol handlers) and select the correct browser in all of them.

        And then they’ll still wonder where their bookmarks and saved passwords and shit went and get mad that it “looks different” when Edge inevitably opens up again randomly when they click something else, and then they click that popup to make Edge the default to make that popup go away (because Edge is allowed to make itself default with one click, but nothing else is), and then they call support and yell
