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.

Hit this 2 weeks ago at my job and it cheesed me off. Also at the same time? Microsoft began requiring you to label your teams comment with a Subject Line. Like.... what?

Microsoft, do you even understand what chat is for?? It's supposed to be quick and informal!

Google Chat desktop app does the same thing but opens all links in chrome. I need to use both teams and chat for my company and client's teams so I'm constantly getting one or the other browser opened on me. Infuriating

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

Microsoft has been so aggressive with forcing their services on you it’s ridiculous. Hope more people are jumping to Firefox/Linux and such

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

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

[-] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 years ago

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

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.
