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.

Good email client

Go on..

Emclient works better with Microsoft 365 than outlook does.

Search actually works and you can edit server rules for starters.
