> You may have read stories in the tech media celebrating that Windows will finally respect the default browser setting.

As someone who hasn't daily driven Windows since Windows 7 this statement is hilarious, because back then, it did respect default browser settings.

You mean the same OS where the internet settings has a (default checked) toggle box for “Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser.”?

As long as it stays off when you uncheck it, that's better.

When you set your default browser to Firefox but using the search bar in task bar opens everything in edge, that's problematic.
