>it's specifically against Chrome I have not encountered any other browser that has a button like Chrome put in. Back in the day, a browser and email apps could set themselves as default, on their own. A long time ago. This was bad. I don't want an app to be able to make itself default for something, and just magically trust that the app will ask me first. There is an OS control for that - I don't want apps to be able to do that on their own. So MS fixed it, and all was good, for a long time. Chrome then somehow found a sneaky way to get that back. Truly a shameful tactic. Well guess what "google" - you're not allowed to do that, and there's a reason the functionality was removed for all apps. You're just a browser app, I don't want you to screw with or even have access to screw my OS settings. Microsoft fixed a security hole. Good on them. For now, they specifically fixed it for the malicious actor. Hopefully they'll fix it OS-wide eventually.
