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.

    I’m in this same boat. I enjoy gaming too much to be able to ditch Windows completely, but I have it very, very customized.

      I enjoy gaming too and do it on Linux just fine. None of my normal games don’t run on Linux thanks to Valve’s work on Proton. Apex Legends, Mechwarrior Online, Halo MCC/Infinite, and much more all run on Linux without a hiccup.
