Mozilla has always been that one company constantly trying to bug mega tech companies - always a win for consumers! The browser maker has now managed to defeat Microsoft's default app setting protections with Firefox 91. Microsoft notoriously makes it difficult for users to switch default browsers, avoiding to offer a one-click solution.

Now, with Firefox, Mozilla is circumventing Microsoft's protections that force users to keep Microsoft Edge as the default browser. The company said it has reverse-engineered the new Default Apps interface in Windows 11, allowing its users to easily switch the default browser.
