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.

Edge was decent when it was first released. It's ~~slowly~~ quickly becoming the 2023 version of Nero Burning ROM from back in the 2000s. A bloated mess.

Much like Chrome before it. Remember when Google's whole push was about how fast Chrome was compared to other browser? Now it's a world full of bloated Chromium wrappers and Firefox.

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.

Edge/IE doing what they do make me want to swap to Linux. Edge is a resource hog and also tries to run in the background during startup. I thought I paid for a computer. Why can't I uninstall this bloatwear easily?

Today is a good day to start dual booting or at least look at it via a live usb boot. I would recommend Linux Mint for starter, If you don't like how it looks, no problem you will be able to install another Desktop later, just start getting familiar with it. https://linuxmint.com/

“This change is designed to create an easier way for Outlook and Microsoft Teams users to reduce task switching across windows and tabs to help stay focused,” says Katy Asher, senior director of communications at Microsoft, in a statement to The Verge. “By opening browser links in Microsoft Edge, the original message in Outlook or Teams can also be viewed alongside web content to easily access, read and respond to the message, using the matching authenticated profile. Customers have the option to disable this feature in settings.”

I don't know if this is a neurodivergent thing but I 500% could never see myself in a position I could say something I knew to be such BS and put my name to it.

This sound like a great way to die by thousands of lawsuits. We really need to squash this goddamed company.

[–] niszogen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

It's not that easy for corporate environments, but yes, IT departments need to push back, this is pretty fucked up

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I didn't expect it, but the thing I hate most about my latest job is being forced to use outlook mail/calendar. It's brutally untenable when you've already seen a better way of doing every involved task.

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

They're more like default browser suggestions, really...

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

People use outlook? Like at home on their personal computer?
