New Feature: Multiple Profiles Handing in Edge browser just got so much Easier!
In the latest Edge Canary browser, Version 81.0.411.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), there is this new option added in the Settings: You can set your default profile and also open links on the web in different profiles from the right-click menu. as you can see I have 2 profiles on my Edge canary right now (1 is connected to my Outlook.com and the other is an offline/local profile). my Outlook.com profile is set as default, but now I have the ability to open links on my 2nd profile too.

How about Base Sets for keyboard shortcuts that are further customizable?
The idea is very similar to what we have in some games. VSCode is similar, too, but not exactly what I mean here. Here's what I expect to have from the users' perspective: Download the New Microsoft Edge using a (a) Microsoft Edge, (b) Mozilla Firefox, (c) Google Chrome, (d) Safari, ... On the first run, at the top of the initial welcome page, I see a fancy "Shortcuts for the browser has been set to match the ones in (a/b/c/d/...) for you to feel at home." Perhaps another line saying "Want to use the shortcut layout from another browser?" with a drop-down right next to it for me to choose. Perhaps one more saying "Or perhaps customize them altogether?" with a button to take me to the View/Edit Keyboard Shortcuts page in the Settings. The difference of VSCode is at that it offers this via Extensions, which I think is too much of a hassle. Like this, it's more streamlined, offering more of a ready-to-go experience. For this magic to happen, in the background and from the developer perspective, these needs implementing: A framework in the background for editable keyboard shortcuts. This probably is already there. A front-end for users to edit the shortcuts. An extensive table of shortcut-assignable-functions vs major-browsers. Cells should contain which shortcut has been assigned to that function on that browser. One table per OS, as browsers have different features/shortcuts per OS most of the times. Installers for each column on those tables. Detect the OS (already here) and browser used for downloading. Set the HREF of the Download button to download the installer that defaults the base-shortcuts to the respective browser's shortcuts on that OS. Sensible defaults. Editable to personal preference. Extendable via extensions. Best of every-single-world. You will win the hearts of a bunch with this. If the browser used for downloading is not one that is explored, then fall back to Edge or Chrome or something.

Set Edge as Default Browser per User
I have two questions: How can make Edge the default browser for a user? I see there is a GPO to set the file type associations as per here but this is per computer. Also, Edge has a button in edge://settings to make it default. is there an API call, CLI tool, registry or the like to do this per user? Maybe even start Edge with a flag to make it default? I wish to simulate the experience users will have when IE11 is retired. Is this GPO the way to do this Disable Internet Explorer 11 | Microsoft Docs ?
