Last Windows 11 update changed all default browser settings to Edge

I've used win 8 and win 10 exclusively for years but have never seen an advert. Is this because I have the business (enterprise) edition, not the home version?

I'm not sure how good or bad Bing, Edge etc are as I only use them occasionally, but it does seem concerning that Microsoft has changed these defaults during an update. Is this even legal, post anti trust etc?

Your company may have removed the crapware; that’s what our image team did.

Possible, in my experience it's always been the hardware vendors that add all that stuff, but it seems like Microsoft wants in on the action.
