EdgeDeflector: simply bend left
The system browser is a trick from Microsoft with which websites can only be opened using Edge, even with a standard “foreign” browser: Windows creates all internal Internet links – for example in Windows search, in Microsoft applications or also in the widget bar New Windows 11 – Not in the regular version https://Format but uses a proprietary protocol Microsoft Edge: // Thus it systematically bypasses the standard browser specified by Windows users.

Final anecdote: Edge blocks the download of the program, you have to allow it in several clicks.
