winget install --id rcmaehl.MSEdgeRedirectAbout MSEdgeRedirect
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.
What's new in 0.8.0.0
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.
