NoMoreEdge

This was a hobby project that I created for my hate towards MS doing monopoly. But since you guys showed up so much love and oh the overwhelming number of downloads, I am creating a actual clean coded and with clean UI app that you can use. I will keep this repo as it and create new repo for new app. This new repo will have all the project files so anyone can build it locally. Stay tuned.

Edge Need to be installed in order to make software work. Software can not intercpt the urls without edge set as default handler for microsoft-edge:// protocol.

Disclaimer

PLEASE NOTE: NoMoreEdge is still BETA. Changes are to be expected, and performance to be improved.

FAQ

It isn’t working for me!

Make sure installed application using setup from latest release, then run microsoft-edge:https://google.com using the Windows + R keys. If that is properly redirected, file a bug report!

My search engine is still Google, I want something else.

Download setup from latest release. Select desired search engine. Click install. One can also update the search engine without reinstall if the NoMoreEdge.exe is updated. Latest release.
