Windows Start menu links could finally launch via Google and Chrome

Windows Start menu links could finally launch via Google and Chrome

Microsoft is planning to introduce changes to the Windows Start menu that would allow users to launch links using their preferred web browser and search engine, rather than being limited to Microsoft Edge and Bing. This is based on new flags discovered in the Edge Canary build, which suggest the ability to explicitly launch links in a "non-Edge default browser" and a "non-Bing default search engine." If implemented, this would mean users could use Google Chrome and Google Search within the Start menu, a significant change from the current system. The exact reason behind these developments is unclear, but it's possible that Microsoft is attempting to avoid potential fines from the European Commission, as the company was recently forced to make Windows 10 extended security updates free for users in Europe.
