I feel like the article title is incredibly misleading.
From what I understand, the user can change their default browser and use whatever they want. However, there are some windows/OS processes that may automatically launch Edge to view a specific webpage (some types of help file rendering? Not super clear What process trigger this). It is Not a blanket ban on non-edge browsers.
Idk but I don't see it as being that big of a deal. It feels like like getting upset that my android phone uses Chrome for its WebView even though I have Brave set to my default. Sure it's annoying, but it's only being used to view some immediate page at which point I can exit and go back to my normal browsing.
