Are you just PROVIDING FEEDBACK for something really weird that should be fixed? (which is also totally understandable).
If THAT’S the case I might suggest you edit your original post by clicking the pencil icon at the bottom of it to edit it and change your category to Feedback > Browser Feedback
I don’t mean to criticize it’s easy to get categorized mixed up, it just seems like you have a problem AND solution so I’m not entirely sure what you want from what you’re saying.
To anyone that lands in this thread : I found the problem ! There is actually a setting when you belong to a microsoft family that is checked by default and that doesn’t allow you to open ANY other browser than Edge. https://account.microsoft.com/family/settings/content-restrictions/ Here, if you look it up on the “family parent” microsoft account, you can uncheck it and then you need to restart your computer and you’ll be able to open another browser.
Are you downloading/installing the browser from our website or through the Windows store? Further, where exactly is the browser and user profile being installed?
