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.
That whole antitrust thing was just the US gov’t gaining leverage over MS. Once they got that, MS was forced to enable surveillance on their customers by the gov’t. Now that they’ve “played ball” for all this time, they are being allowed to resume their previous activities.
