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.
My computer did that for the first time today but it was accompanied by a popup which said something like “do you want me to keep opening links in Edge or use the default (Chrome)?” I clicked Chrome and that was the end of that.
Are the people who are being forced to use Edge the same people who don’t or can’t read popups and who choose the most obvious “get out of the way” button?
