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.

    There’s a setting for this in Outlook now, basically a toggle to choose either edge or the system default.

    Not nice to have an extra setting for it but at least it can be turned off

      What’s even the point of having a system default if apps are just going to ignore it?
