Hypocrite! Every time there’s a Windows update it makes Edge the default browser again. Without the user asking. They should look in mirror!

It does? I don’t recall that happening.

It sneakily asks for Microsoft to select the most secure configuration for your system (or something similar)

Which means setting edge and bing as default

Today I was working on a 2019 server. I clicked on IE to download Firefox and it asked me if I wanted Edge. I didn’t want to do anything that might interfere with existing services running, so I said no. I took a phone call, and when I came back … welcome to Edge, I’m so fuckin great - let’s get started!

I’ve been doing this since the 80s, but this was a surprisingly fresh experience for me.

I’ve never had that happen and I’m always keeping up to date with Windows updates

Probably you are not selecting the “recommended settings” in the welcome wizard after a feature update.

No it doesn’t 🤣

It just asks anytime you use a Windows app to use Edge.
