About

This tool filters and passes the command line arguments of Microsoft Edge processes into your default browser instead of hooking into the microsoft-edge: handler, this should provide resiliency against future changes.

Additionally, an Image File Execution Options mode is available to operate similarly to the Old EdgeDeflector.

Additional modes are planned for future versions.
