Most likely, someone found a legitimate Windows 11 bug that will be patched out within a month. Meanwhile, Apple premeditated releasing extensions for their own mobile browser while blocking FF/Chrome from doing the same until some point in the future. I know it's fun to hate on MS but Apple is far and away the worse offender here.

Nah, I've looked at it alongside the author. It feels like extra work done for that single protocol (but none of their other weird ones) to handle it in a new and nonstandard way. It would take a very weird bug to make the "select program for protocol" dialog ignore all entries except all versions of Edge; an even weirder coincidence to also ignore the relevant registry setting in favor of Edge when clicking links, and yet more so when when it only affects that protocol but not the other weird ms-specific ones. Combined with how there was just a small burst of publicity over Firefox and Brave now also support capturing microsoft-edge: links, it feels like the "random bug" explanation is not the more likely one.
