Why doesn't IE10 Metro work when it's not default browser?

Apparently, MS has some stupid stipulation where you can only access the metro version of a browser if it's the default.

yup. It isn't stupid at all though. It's there to ensure a consistent experience. Only 1 browser for any link that you may want to open.

It's just out for public BETA.

your suggestions and bugs are most welcomed by Microsoft unlike Apple.

So if no one likes it, they will change it or atleast they offer you choice. :D

Except you're wrong. http://www.apple.com/feedback/

I have worked a lil with the settings and found that when you choose ur non ie browser as default , IE metro doesn't work then. However by choosing it as default for "Few things" , metro ie works. Sorry for so complicated language :p

All i mean is , just go default programs > select defaults > click ur non ie browser > click choose defaults > untick the protocols , boom u have Metro IE (which obviously mean that for protocols metro ie would run...)

    • I don't expect to see 12 this year, but not for this reason. Windows 10 got a 21H2 update the year Windows 11 came out, it even got 22H2 the next yet.
    • Android 16 adds a new "network notification" setting that warns you when a rogue "stingray" device is trying to spy on you There are many simple things you can do to keep your private information safe, like using strong passwords, scrutinizing app permissions, and only installing apps from trusted sources. However, some attacks are much harder to protect yourself against, as they’re so sophisticated and stealthy that they can happen without you ever noticing. One such attack tricks your phone into connecting to a fake, insecure mobile network, which is difficult for the average person to detect. Fortunately, the new Android 16 update has a feature that can warn you when someone is using this tactic to snoop on you. This type of attack uses a device called a “stingray.” An attacker sets up this device near a target they want to surveil, and it mimics a legitimate cell tower. The stingray tricks nearby mobile devices into connecting to it, allowing the attacker to collect unique identifiers (like the IMEI) and even force them onto an older, more insecure communication protocol. These identifiers allow attackers to target specific devices for analysis, while switching protocols can let them intercept unencrypted text messages and phone calls. https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-mobile-network-security-3571497/
    • It's worse in Canary this week. When you type something in the address bar and press enter, most cases it defaults to "Ask copilot" that shoves whatever you wrote into copilot. Then you have to retype whatever you wanted and use the down arrow or mouse to select your search engine instead of copilot. Each version that has this behavior(that can't be turned off in settings yet) I'm sending feedback in hoping they don't do this into other channels.
    • Oh wow i really didn't know about this! 😳 Could you tell where they're available even if not public?
