A long-standing frustration for Windows users may soon be addressed, as Microsoft appears to be testing new functionality that could finally let web links from the Start menu open in your default browser rather than being forced into Microsoft Edge. According to Windows Latest, experimental code in Edge’s Canary build suggests that Microsoft is preparing to loosen restrictions that have long kept users within its browser and Bing ecosystem. Several new developer flags provide hints at what’s coming. One, named msExplicitLaunchNonEdgeDB, appears to enable explicit support for launching links in a “non-Edge default browser.” Another, called msExplicitLaunchNonBingDSE, seems even more…

Energizer is bringing its reputation for oversized batteries into the laptop world with the EnergyBook Pro Ultra, a new flagship from Avenir Telecom that sits alongside the EnergyBook Pro 15 and EnergyBook Pro XL 18.

Energizer claims it can deliver up to 28 hours of browsing, 11 hours of intensive use such as gaming, and even up to a week of standby time—numbers that dwarf the typical endurance of most notebooks. But while the huge battery is impressive, it also means…

The 1080p resolution may be standard, but paired with its slim “3-sided borderless” design, it’s especially appealing for gamers…

As online threats continue to grow more complex, Google is urging Chrome users to consider enabling Enhanced Safe Browsing, a feature that goes beyond the browser’s default protection. Standard Safe Browsing relies on a regularly updated database of dangerous websites, but Enhanced Safe Browsing leverages AI and real-time scanning to identify risks that haven’t yet been officially flagged. This approach makes it particularly useful against fast-moving threats like new phishing campaigns or malware designed to evade detection. Google’s descriptions of Enhanced Safe Browsing remain somewhat vague, referring to processes like “in-depth scans for suspicious downloads” and enhanced protections that benefit…

Microsoft is taking another step toward a password-free future, encouraging users to create passkeys for their Microsoft accounts. With a stated goal of moving one billion users away from traditional passwords, the company sees passkeys as a safer, more convenient way to secure digital identities.

Doing so, however, is straightforward and offers a range of benefits. The process begins at account.microsoft.com/security, where users can access account settings and choose “Manage how…

Google is experimenting with a new search experience for Windows, introducing the “Google app for Windows,” an application that searches both your computer and the web while integrating AI features. Classified as a Labs project, the app is designed to help users retrieve information without interrupting their workflow. In a short blog post, Google highlighted its core functionality: users can press Alt + Space to instantly search for files on their PC, applications, Google Drive content, and web results.
