    Whether using AutoHotKey, Macro Express, VBS, Powershell, Power Automate, batch-file - I don't mind - whatever works, to quickly toggle the browser DEFAULT state between Edge & Firefox in x32Win10ProV21H1

    Sorry, all I could find was this tray program but it is not for Windows 10.

    I'll keep looking but I don't think there is a quick way to change browsers.

    Read this concerning Windows 11, which appears in October.

    Apparently MS wants everyone to use Edge in Windows 11 and is making it harder to use something else. This may change as other companies complain about not allowing competition.

    Thank you for your effort and the promise of more. I'll check the non-Win10 technique for hints about a procedure.

    I'm not motivated to move to Win11 - unless I discover clear advantages FOR ME.

    This is the 4th post in this thread. The 1st post is by Sebastion42. Are there any other posts ahead of Sebastion42's post? It seems to me from reading it that I have stepped into the middle of the thread...

    My first post assumed the statement in the title and did not repeat it .
