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.

Just find an alternative to it. There are a lot that are free or/and Open-source.

So where's the group policy to turn this shit off?

Maybe some people will just give up on outlook finally and use a good email client or the webapp, neither of which will do this shit.

Why are they so unbelievably desperate to force people to use Edge?

What keeps me from moving to Firefox is the Translation option. Edge and Chrome are so good at quickly making the page available to read in my language. Firefox is not so good at this and requires adding which don’t seem to deliver the same functionality. At least from what I have found. So if someone has tips there, please share.
