Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

Microsoft is ignoring browser choice again

Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.

Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

How many times must they be sued for this exact thing? It would be nice if they faced some real consequences this time.

It's like it's thier white whale. The sole reason the entire company exists. Every department. Every acquisition. Every decision they've ever made as a whole is to eventually get you to use thier web browser.

Bill gates makes the call every Tuesday that everyone at Microsoft fears: IS IT COMPLETED? GET IT DONE.
