🤖 Microsoft Edge Deflector

Hello folks!

I want to share with you a great tool that I have found. It's a very useful 60kb's C# open-source app for those who no longer want to see Microsoft Edge open. And it has just had its first release for 4 years!

  1. First just get the last binary on GitHub No security vendors flagged with (VirusTotal)[https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/076f8af18d13eca124eec2adf9ef8eb136a43e2934180a5416d1c138e10ed24a/detection]
  2. Execute-it.
  3. After installation, a page opens ... in Edge ... Not for long!
  4. Open the Windows Settings app. Go to Apps: Default apps.
  5. Scroll to the bottom and click Choose default apps by protocol.
  6. Locate MICROSOFT-EDGE in the list and click on the program icon to the right of it. Select EdgeDeflector from the list. Confirm the change if asked.
  7. Copy the following test link: `microsoft-edge:https://www.ctrl.blog
  8. Press the Windows key + R, paste the link and press the Enter key.

The magic happens ! Have a nice day :)
