Windows serves whichever axe is deemed to need grinding and they're not going to give up that control. At the moment it's Edge getting shoved down our throats at any opportunity and in some cases it even ignores the "default apps" (looking at you links from the lock screen) I've also started getting prompts to "restore my web browser" settings as a way to get Edge reset back to the default along with a permanent "restore recommended" banner on the top of the Settings app. Use Microsoft recommended browser settings: Set the latest Microsoft Edge as your default browser and pin it to your desktop and taskbar. It's the best browser for Windows 10 with enhanced privacy protection. The "learn more" takes you to https://microsoftedgewelcome.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy https://microsoftedgewelcome.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy and two of the promises are "control" and "respect". It's funny, I don't feel either in control or respected about my choice not to use Edge.
