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.

      Many of us are forced to use Windows by our employers so “no Windows, no problems” is not an option.

        Oh man, I dunno, I could put my foot down at work — but judging how the Windows-folk react in my personal life whenever anything goes wrong the first words out of their mouth is “Oh, is this a [MacOS, Linux] thing?”

        More often than not it’s not an issue related to the OS. I couldn’t imagine it dialed up to 11 in a professional development environment.
