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.

This caused me to rage quit my emails this morning. I'm going to back to Thunderbird.

Remember when Microsoft got raked over the coals for this kind of behavior, in the 90s?

Remember how bored everyone got of ignoring news about the massive issues in the 90s that still affect everyone? You still can't bring it up without people's eyes glazing over. Drives me nuts that people just don't give a shit.

Microsoft always pushing things way too much, unnecessarily.

But I actually like the feature. I use Outlook for corporate email and Edge for work related stuff. Firefox is my default browser. It was always confusing to open a link on an email message on the "wrong" browser.

Now this doesn't happen. Links on emails open correctly on the work browser.

But we should definitely have an option to choose which browser we would like the links to open on.

"Suddenly"? This has been happening for a long time. If you click on outbound links from built-in Windows apps, they used to always open in Edge unless you used a tool named EdgeDeflector to redirect them to your preferred browser. In 2021, they killed EdgeDeflector by making it impossible to redirect links with the microsoft-edge:// protocol baked in, even if you go deep into the registry settings to change this. They will eventually do this to Outlook and Teams too and get away with it, just like they got away with restricting EdgeDeflector.

I use this and never had a problem again. https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect

However I cannot comment on Office since I use FOSS office software (OnlyOffice). Please try it and let us know how it works out. It redirects everything I do to OperaGX (my preference) including those "START" searches.

Thats a helpful pointer, thanks :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for this. Turns out they also made it hard to make anything other than Edge your default browser (you have to set it separately for each file extension). How to fix that here:

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?

Looks like Microsoft is due for another anti trust lawsuit. They should remember Bill’s fun adventures in capitol hill.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It won't go down the same way today. Government had a much bigger spine back then.

With their new upcoming UI that breaks existing Outlook addins (and sucks too btw) and this one. I can't wait for people to do away with Outlook. I'm the only one at work that even uses Thunderbird (with Owl for exchange addon). Was laughing my ass last time that Outlook had a zero day and our IT was telling us to not use the Outlook app until the zero day is fixed.

Btw this is what the new Outlook looks like

It looks like the web version, breaks addons and alot of features that the current one has are missing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

People may do away with Outlook, but companies are heavily invested in Microsoft Office and won't be dumping it any time soon.
