This is understandable, as the company developed this browser. However, according to The Verge, Microsoft will stop pushing Edge on Windows 11 users in the EU.<br \/>\nWhile it\u2019s understandable that Microsoft wants users to use its own browser, the company goes a little overboard with it. Even if you have a different browser assigned as the default, you\u2019ll still find yourself navigating to Edge when you open certain links or do a search.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s a bit of an annoyance. When you assign a default browser like Chrome, Firefox, etc., you want it to be used for ALL of your browser needs, not most of them. This has been going on since Windows 10, and Windows 11 adopted this practice.<br \/>\nWindows 11 users in the EU won\u2019t be pushed to using Edge<br \/>\nFolks in Europe who don\u2019t like that Microsoft does this won\u2019t need to worry for too much longer. Windows 11 users in the EU won\u2019t be pushed to using the Edge browser. So, when they use the search feature and click on certain links, they\u2019ll navigate to their default browser.<br \/>\nThis was stated in the official changelog for the test build released last month. \u201cIn the European Economic Area (EEA), Windows system components use the default browser to open links,\u201c.<br \/>\nThis sounds like good news for people who don\u2019t like what Microsoft is doing. The only thing is that it\u2019s only happening in Europe. When The Verge reached out for comment, the company declined, so we\u2019re left in the dark. There doesn\u2019t seem to be a reason why Microsoft is doing this exclusively for the European market.<br \/>\nOne reason could just be that the company is merely testing this feature for the European market before pushing it to the rest of the world. However, we\u2019re not sure why Microsoft would decline to comment. We\u2019ll just need to wait and see how this story develops.The post Windows 11 will stop pushing Edge on Eurpean users appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/windows-11.jpeg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you use Windows, then you know how adamantly Microsoft is when trying to push you to using its Edge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":13879,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13878"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13878\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13880,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13878\/revisions\/13880"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
