Edit registry to stop Internet Explorer to Edge redirect If the extensions/helper objects are a requirement for your work, follow the first method. However, one downside is that if you are using extensions or custom helper objects they will stop working too. This should stop the Internet Explorer to Edge redirect.


All you have to do is stop Windows from redirecting Internet Explorer to Edge. If you don’t like this behavior and want to use Internet Explorer for whatever reason, you can do that. In fact, you will even see a popup message telling “This website works better on Microsoft Edge”.

For example, if you visit in IE, you will be automatically redirected to the MS Edge browser. To further reduce this, Microsoft started automatically redirecting users from Internet Explorer to Edge Chromium when they visit an incompatible website or webpage. Since most modern websites are incompatible with IE, it can cause issues. This might because of habit or a work requirement. However, there are still Windows users who use IE on a daily basis. In general, a vast majority of users no longer use or need to use the Internet Explorer.
