SharePoint links incl. Stream automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge browser

Because I don't use Edge as default browser, Microsoft keeps bothering me, asking me to open Microsoft Edge when I click on e.g. SharePoint links. I share here my solution to avoid it.

Problem description

When opening a link to SharePoint in Chrome browser (e.g. also for Videos on Stream), I get following error/ message window "Open Microsoft Edge? A website wants to open this application." 

and you have to click "Open Microsoft Edge" to get the url finally redirected to the Microsoft Edge browser.

It happens also when you click on the "View Online" menu from a local sync'ed file in your file explorer.

Solution

Using a Browser Redirector (I use Browser Tamer) I have added a rule to handle .sharepoint.com urls to be opened in the Edge browser.

Browser internal links

Using Redirector Extension

I use in Chrome the Redirector extension and I have added the following redirector rule.

Note the use of the built-in microsoft-edge protocol to redirect to Edge.

Using AutoHotkey

Without the redirector extension, you can also Shift+Click on a link to open with the default browser using an AutoHotkey script. 

See Gist code example below:

This is implemented in the NWS PowerTool.

No redirect annoying window anymore!
