Here's a guide on how to prevent this from happening: https://www.ghacks.net/2023/01/21/how-to-block-microsoft-edg... > The workaround requires edits of the Registry. There is a global edit that applies to all Edge channels and edits for each individual version of the web browser.

Tried, not good enough. I don't understand why this conversation has to be had ad nauseam.
When did you try, and which genres? Out of all the 20+ games that I bought in the last two years, all of them were Gold or Platinum rank on ProtonDB. The only real issues these days are with anti-cheat stuff in competitive multiplayer games.
Every game I play is a competitive multiplayer game.
Just once I would like to see whoever is responsible for something like this show up in the replies and be completely honest about how it’s hostile shitty behaviour, but on the other hand they increased Edge engagement by 0.5% which really impressed their bosses boss.
I don't see the big deal, they replaced IE with Edge and IE has been in the desktop since Win95.
So you're ok with the OS disrespecting your choices and changing things behind your back?

“ Linux is only free if your time has no value”
This quote dates back to earlier than 2010. I don't think jwz would agree with it in 2023. On Windows you burn time eliminating ads, Edge, "set up your machine" popups, and other bullshit. On MacOS you burn time papering over what is a completely incompetent OS for dev: containers, package management, fourty-fucking-five minute security patches, and other bullshit. Linux generally just works.
Does anyone (power users) really use the desktop anymore? Since moving back to windows, I've mostly used the taskbar and PowerToys Run to launch applications, and explorer to find files.
Question: Is Edge your default browser? (It isn't mine, but I do have it installed. I have not seen this behaviour on Win 10 Home.)
