Forcing Edge to load a specific URL in a specific browser

The Edge browser "experience" was the final straw that pushed me over to MacOS. The whole in-your-face pushy behaviour in Edge is awful. I very often have to install software on new Windows servers and every time when I have to open the browser I have to go through the deshittifaction steps for the default home page and the whole "can I have all your data" wizard. Also Edge tend to "forget" privacy settings with new updates and re-enable many privacy invasive features like Page Preload, Bing etc. And you also have this Copilot sh*t and the whole sidebar with Coupons!?!? It's also creeping over to the Start Menu and the Taskbar.

At which point will it be less work to just switch to a sane operating system and maybe use windows in a VM if you need some specific application?

Seems to be mostly for MS to override the default (non-Edge) browser?

An interesting possible usage of this was that it allowed to open a link in Edge from within IE11 (which is better than just saying "IE not supported") - although I never spotted this being used in the wild on real websites.

It would be amusing to be able to do:<p>&lt;a href=&quot;bash:rm -rf &#x2F;&quot;&gt;Destroy me&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;

This title is misleading to what the article is actually talking about and judging by the responses, that was all that was read.
