Okay, this had been mentioned before in #176

Due to how this is implemented in task manager it calls the default browser instead of Edge and I don't intercept the default browser. Currently, @MarcGuiselin's Chrometana-Pro has that functionality, but I'll poll the community about getting it added in the future.

I'm going to stay out of this for now. Chrometana-Pro does it well and other extensions are available. I'll be documenting those and adding a plug for them at the end of the install
