Step Three: Forget that Edge exists

Open a PDF on Windows 11 - Edge is the default app.

Use the search bar for search, click on a result, even though it's not your default browser Edge opens the result.

And there are many other examples. Setting a default on Windows 11 is now extremely obnoxious and requires that you set many file types manually.
