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.
People may do away with Outlook, but companies are heavily invested in Microsoft Office and won’t be dumping it any time soon.
My wife company went even further and blacklisted any email websites in order to force them into using the Outlook app at work. Heck, they cannot even access the Microsoft outlook webpage.
