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

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.

    I love Firefox, but had to go to Edge due to tab groupings. How Firefox doesn’t have this yet boggles my mind. The day I see they have groups, I’ll be all over it again.

      On the Mozilla feature request page, it is the highest voted post and is currently being “investigated” by the team. But it’s been like that for a while, so I stopped holding my breath. It will come one day (hopefully) considering how much demand there is for it.
