    It doesn’t say anything about repairing, this is such a low class clickbait.

    All it says is that the default settings are changed, and they recommend resetting to their service. Because of course a company is going to recommend their own services. Would be a bad company if they didn’t.

    This is the actual picture they used in the article:

      It is literally under the “Repair tips” tab.

        A repair tip

        A tip for if things went wrong, like if some virus installed a weird browser and set it default, and you want a quick fix.

        It isn’t saying that if you installed any other browser the system is broken and it should be repaired to Edge. That is just ridiculous and why I call this clickbait.

        It is aimed at people who don’t even know what a default browser is. You know, the average user.

          Hey come on. You sound far too reasonable.

          Don’t you know this is the KDE community where we discuss topics about KDE hate on Windows.

          You are working with hypotheticals. We cannot judge what the reasoning is. We can only judge what it is. It may have been done with good intentions as you say. Given MS’s track record, highly unlikely, but either way the fact is MS is telling its Windows users that anything that is not Edge and Bing is damaged or malicious. That is anticompetitive bullshit (intentional or not) and FUD.

      If you look at the screenshot, you can see this is the “Repair tips” tab/button. I don’t know what it looks like, but it does say something about repairing.
