[FEATURE] - Edge protocol redirection to default browser

Open espanafly opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Desired outcome:

The ability to apply for instance @AveYo's OpenWebSearch.cmd or @rcmaehl's MSEdgeRedirect which rely on "ie_to_edge_stub.exe" to redirect URLs to a default non-Edge replacement browser.

Code developing resource

My hope is that it's easy for you to incorporate whatever "ie_to_edge_stub.exe tricks" are done by @AveYo's Edge_Removal.bat to achieve the desired outcome. I would offer more concrete code suggestions if my PowerShell skills were better.

Thanks

Thanks for https://github.com/AveYo/LeanAndMean/pull/7#issue-1632807668. Your improved RunAsTI.reg file fixed the Issue I raised on that project https://github.com/AveYo/LeanAndMean/issues/16

I'll consider this for a future release, although initially as an experimental option

Thank you

I believe there's a discussion on an issue thread on AveYo's repo in regard to ie_to_edge_stub. I haven't messed with my implementation for a while because ItJustWorks™️

If I remember correctly:

  • There is a set list of locations it can be at to be trusted
  • Interception is done via Image File Execution Options registry keys
  • ie_to_edge_stub is used because the application is checked for specific Extended EV Certificates

Glad to see another developer in the anti-MSEdge space! Welcome!
