As someone who used Firefox and has Windows 11, how is it going to affect me? My links open in Firefox only (and the only time I open links is either from WhatsApp or occasionally some link in a doc file or PDF I am reading). It works fine for me so far.

I think it's only for 'microsoft-edge:' URLs, used by certain Windows features (e.g. Bing search from the start menu, or opening the online help via a link in the Settings). Most other links will just be normal http:/https: links and will use your actual default browser.

Can I just rename edge.exe (or whatever the name of the executable is)?

EDIT: I can't do that on my office laptop. My personal laptop isn't compatible with Windows 11.

What about something like this?https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/open-in-fi...

(I have major trust issues with extensions after huge disaster with the Chrome extension to suspend tabs which had malicious code embedded in it)
