Microsoft seems to have decided that they want users to use the Web Edge browser on Windows 11.
The company makes many changes to this effect on the latest version of the operating system.
With the launch of Windows 11, Microsoft changes the way the user sets the default application.
In the new operating system, the user must specify the default application in accordance with the type of file or type of link instead of one switch.
This means that to change the default browser, users must change the default file type for FTP, HTTPS, HTTP, HTML, HTM, PDF, SHTML, SVG, WebP, XHTML and XHTML.
Take forward this, the tech giant now starts blocking third-party applications such as Edgeflector.
Every time a user searches for something through the search box on the Start menu, Microsoft takes them to the edge of the browser and the Bing search engine.
For those who are unconscious, applications such as edgeflector help users to avoid these sidewalks and see search results in their choice browser.
The block appeared in the making of OS preview last week and now the company has now confirmed that changes will be launched to all Windows 11 users in the update coming.
According to Microsoft, the step is needed to support the end-end encryption feature on the OS.
“The window also offers a certain end-to-end customer experience in Windows 10 and Windows 11, the search experience of the taskbar is one example of a final-to-end experience that is not designed to be directed.
When we become aware of improper divortions , we issue improvements.
“Microsoft spokesman said in a statement to the verge.
Edgedeflector application developers, Daniel Alexandersen, blow up the company’s steps to suddenly block the application.
“This is not a caring company that cares about the product again.
Microsoft is not a good servant of the Windows operating system.
They prioritize advertising, bundleways, and service subscriptions for their user productivity,” Aleksandersen wrote on his blog.
He further revealed that the application might get Microsoft’s attention when the Firefox web browser and Brave copy application functionality or signal it on a road map.
“0.5 million edgedeflector users may have never been more than interference to Microsoft.
However, last month the brave and Firefox web browser copied the edgeleflector function or signaled it on the road map.
Firefox can be a bleeding of users with millions, but the browser is more ethical still It has nearly 200 million users.
The news might make Microsoft sit and pay attention.
“He added on his blog.
