Rumor Google is going to kill uBlock Origin in June 2024

I just remembered that I had another question regarding this! Even if I WERE to move to another engine that isn't Chromium based, how will I redirect my searches from Windows (since y'know, they hardlocked Edge in 11) to Waterfox, or my other search engine?

My suggestion is to just not use that crap and stick to searching in the browser.
There are many tools like Edge Deflector that enable what you want though.

Seems Microsoft broke it.
NoMoreEdge maybe: https://github.com/KodeByWrath/NoMoreEdge
It claims to work after Microsoft's changes, but it hasn't been updated in years either.

Edit: Use this https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect

For M$, they fixed it.

I'm going to try Windows 11 LTSC ISO that was uploaded to Archive.org, got low expectations, anyway.

Good thing he didn't say that he was using Internet Explorer. That'd be a major concern LOL.

I'm sure there's still people somewhere who are using Internet Explorer 11... I have no idea why.

I suspect two groups:
1) Retro enthusiasts who need it for something e.g. some old webui, etc.
2) Commercial users

At least, these are the two reasons I've used IE in the last decade.

At work we were only upgraded from XP/W7 last year to W10 and we have had issues with one piece of software, even in compatibility mode.
