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.

      The best msedge era for me was just as vertical tabs came out.

      The Browser was really slim, hat some interesting UI Design choices that set it apart from chrome.

      Nowadays it has so many adware elements and pointless settings that I don’t really enjoy using it anymore.

      My day to day browser is ff and I’m mainly using chromium based browsers for development and compatibility checks, as well as on my laptop to save power when watching videos.
