MSEdgeRedirect’s Return: Update introduces Enhancements and Fresh Features

Windows 11 users are all too familiar with the system’s attempts to push them towards using Microsoft’s own platforms, such as the Microsoft Edge browser. Often, when you try to use a feature directly associated with Windows, it forces you to open Edge. But fear not, there’s a solution!

Enter MSEdgeRedirect, an application that allows you to redirect Edge to any other browser of your choice. For a while, this handy tool didn’t receive any updates, which meant that new versions of Windows 11 introduced bugs. However, the developer is back in action and has just released a new update, version 0.8.0.0, packed with exciting new features and improvements.

One of the notable improvements is better support for opening PDF files. Additionally, the application now manages shortcuts to work seamlessly with the latest versions of Windows. It’s worth mentioning that this new version no longer supports Windows 8.1. While the focus is on Windows 11, the application previously allowed users to redirect to other browsers and services on older Windows versions.

If you’re eager to try out the latest version, you can download it now from GitHub. It’s great to see developers actively working on improving tools like MSEdgeRedirect, ensuring that Windows 11 users have more control over their browsing experience. So, whether you prefer Chrome, Firefox, or any other browser, you can now enjoy a seamless browsing experience without being forced into using Microsoft Edge.
