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.
Especially because its not Chromium
I quite like Chromium. Maybe is my tinted glass when I just switched from Firefox/Explorer. The fact that your browser would pop up almost instantly instead of taking those 2-3 seconds to start was quite revolutionary (Firefox of course caught up quite soon on that regard, Microsoft had to adopt Chromium to do the same).
But yeah, the current bloatware and resouce gourging are quite bad when looking at it impartially.
