This is a handy tool to have for anyone sick of Microsoft’s shit and those who are slowly transitioning out of their ecosystem. It forces Windows to open your default browser instead of Edge every time you accidentally click on certain links in the Start menu, the toolbar widget, or open the help page by pressing F1.

It’s simple to install and also lets you customize other actions shown below:

As shown in the image, the additional redirections include Bing Discover, Bing Search, MSN News, MSN Weather, Bing Images, PDF Viewer. Additionally, you can disable CoPilot, redirect Spotlight, Bing Chat, and Windows Store Apps.

        For me, Linux wasn’t viable as a daily driver until Valve made gaming work.

        But now that they have, it’s great.
