My wife’s laptop just upgraded itself to windows 11 pro form 10 pro unasked & unsolicited and all prefs were changed to microsoft traps including edge being the default. Dark patterns galore. Luckily I could revert back to the previous version.
I spent 2 hours trying to uninstall Edge unsuccessfully then decided to live with it.
https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect is a decent band-aid on the problem.
