Versions:
GoAwayEdge 2.0.1, developed by Exploitox, is a lightweight system utility whose sole purpose is to intercept every call that Windows 11 and Windows 10 make to Microsoft Edge and silently reroute it to the user’s default third-party browser. The program operates at the registry and URI-handler level, so links triggered by Start-menu search results, help files, Cortana, widgets, News-and-Interests, Teams, Outlook, and even certain system updates open immediately in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, or any other installed engine without Edge ever appearing. Because the redirection is performed transparently, bookmarks, cookies, and profiles remain untouched, while the user gains a consistent browsing environment governed by the settings and extensions of the preferred application. Typical use cases include corporate desktops whose security policy allows only one approved browser, power users who automate workflows with custom profiles, and privacy-minded individuals who object to Edge’s background data collection; administrators can deploy the 300 KB executable silently via SCCM or Intune, and the utility automatically self-repairs after monthly Windows updates that would otherwise restore Edge hooks. Version 2.0.1, the second public release, adds support for the new “microsoft-edge://” protocol introduced in 22H2 and removes the occasional UAC prompt that appeared on ARM devices. Both available versions—1.0.0 and 2.0.1—coexist peacefully with third-party antivirus engines and can be rolled back instantly through the built-in restore button. GoAwayEdge is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
