Microsoft is forcing Outlook and Teams to open links in Edge, and IT admins are angry

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.

It IS the web version. It uses electron.

I tried it for a bit but couldn't open teams meetings from the notification.

On Mac, the new version can't even open Exchange mailboxes 🤯 the only reason for me to use outlook anyway
