Is it still stupidly difficult to change default browser in win11?

I read somewhere around the time of w11 release that you have to tweak registry keys or something like that?

No, and it never has been. I use Firefox as my default and it has never changed.

Oh, I see. Must've misremembered that, then...

You did not misremembered it. They tried to make it difficult, got backlashed, then took a step back. All of it before Win11 was widely distributed, so some people never had to deal with it.

With that said. MS still looking ways to try forcing you to use Edge. Recently, all of your Chrome tabs just got reopen into Edge, "due to a bug".
