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 don’t like that part of Thunderbird either. Seems overengineered to me.
It looks even more ridiculous when they open a tab on my browser begging for donations. Sadly I tried a couple other mail clients and none of them looked good enough so I’m still on Thunderbird. If you find anything better, please drop me a message.
i’m glad to find similar opinions on Thunderbird UI!
omg, the part of donations didn’t happen to me, i think. maybe there was an option to disable it and i used it, or maybe i didn’t use Thunderbird enough to make those tabs pop out on my browser.
I hope this doesn’t happen often to you, because it looks as annoying as Outlook ads. i understand the Mozilla Foundation needs money but…
yes, if i find another email client that looks good, i will share it. my focus on the search would be: FOSS and simple UI.
thanks, pal!
