Except edge then opens and presents you with some message about setting it to the default browser (which a lot of people will just click ok to make it go away)

discuss

order

That an internal OS system (help) opens in the OS browser I'm willing to accept. That every browser says "please please make us the default browser" is annoying but hardly unique for Edge. This is just the combination of the two.

I don't think enough people use Win+Type+Enter queries, nor F1 help in Windows to make the discussion very interesting compared to the really interesting ones like which browsers will open a hyperlink in a non-browser app.

Edge is the only browser that periodically captures you in a full screen multiple pages nag screen when it's not default. It's also the only browser able to set itself as default without further interaction.

It's not behaving the same as any other browser.

How is it more acceptable because it's a combination of two things? Lots of objectionable outcomes are a combination of multiple factors!
