Microsoft changed the decision, will not force Windows 10 users to open the default link from Microsoft Edge anymore
To ensure maximum security, at the beginning of the year, Microsoft asked Windows 10 users to open links in the Microsoft Edge browser, nearly every third-party browser was sidelined.
In the context that Google Chrome is still taking the upper hand in the browser market, Microsoft's move is a trick to force users to switch to Edge more. According to data from analyst StatCounter, Google Chrome currently accounts for 66.87%, far exceeding Microsoft Edge with only 4.16%, as of the end of June 2018.
