EdgeDeflectorSlim

A small application to redirect calls for the Edge URI protocol (e.g. from Cortana/Search or help buttons) to the default browser instead of Microsoft Edge.

This is functionally identical to da2x's EdgeDeflector, except much smaller and faster (built to a native assembly rather than using .NET Framework).

Installation

  1. Run the latest installer available from releases.
  2. After running, you will be prompted to associate EdgeDeflectorSlim with the microsoft-edge URI protocol. This can be set in Windows settings: Apps > Default apps > Choose default apps by protocol.

Credits

axetion - writing the main program
osyu - writing the installer
da2x - creating the original EdgeDeflector
