@CongoCart Thanks for the reply & examples. I, too, hate that MS ignores the defaults for system links & search. The injected ad is kinda bonkers as well. They could've just done a popup. Still bad but modifying a competitors page is 🤯Permalink On twitter.com

@CongoCart Regarding forcing the default: The impact of that seems limited? Loads of people use 3rd party browsers on Windows (except when they start a journey via windows search ofc. Not sure how many people actually do that. I guess even one is too much in this case)On twitter.com

@CongoCart At least MS is not outright banning competing browser engines - Apple is holding back the entire web with that. I find that to be a higher priority in terms of what needs fixing than not respecting defaults (altho defaults is a very close 2nd)Permalink On twitter.com

@CongoCart On iOS it doesn't even matter if you do use your own browser (not much anyway)Permalink On twitter.com

@CongoCart Btw, I also can't imagine that Alex agrees with Windows ignoring default, seeing how he also frequently rants about apps with IAB taking away default browser choice.Permalink On twitter.com

@CongoCart This also seems more like a Windows thing than Edge. Although edge could ignore windows and open edge:// links in the default browser haha 😅Permalink On twitter.com
