Can the same technique be applied to make an internet explorer/edge replacer? That would be cool. Some programs just don't like taking in regard the user's preference for the default browser app.
There is actually a program that works well for browsers called BrowserChooser2 - It allows you to make it the default HTML (and other protocols) handler, and then lists the browsers that you have installed to pick which one to load in.
Unfortunately, the website https://browserchooser2.com/ is currently down (as of today, 17 Jan 2019), but I do have a local copy of hte BC2 last release from Feb 2018, BC2 Release 2 (Version 2.0.4.38373). I've contacted the dev via Twitter to ask if he knew the website was down.
His BitBucket site https://bitbucket.org/gmyx/browserchooser2/downloads/ Has the previous release, but it is not nearly as friendly with Windows 10 as the R2 release.
I have not obtained any permission from him to re-distribute his file, so I cannot (currnetly) attach it here, but if I hear something back from him otherwise, I'll post back.
