A Tool to Redirect News, Search, Widgets, Weather and More to Your Default Browser

This tool filters and passes the command line arguments of Microsoft Edge processes into your default browser instead of hooking into the microsoft-edge: handler, this should provide resiliency against future changes. Additionally, an Image File Execution Options mode is available to operate similarly to the Old EdgeDeflector. Additional modes are planned for future versions.

Release Notes

Hey all, sorry I've been away for a while. Work got a new local office and then started a Windows 11 migration so I've been busy with that. The migration is wrapping up so I should have free time to work on this again. I've forgone parts of the UI update that was planned for this release for a later subversion to go ahead and get this out of the door. 0.8.0.0 comes with the following changes:

  • Fixes Installer Typos (thanks @ThisAMJ)

  • Improves News Handler
  • Fixes Windows Spotlight (thanks @floatchallenged)
  • Removes Windows 8.1 Support
  • Removes Lemmy Search option (RIP)
  • Adds AI-Less Google Results option
