Outlook prefers Edge
But I don't like it. So, here is a short information to set Outlook back to default browser
Did I say that I hate such stuff, as I setup Chrome as default
But the Update of Outlook change / override this setting.
Hey Hive Family
let us travel the world again
and keep surfing with Chrome
Some Fun facts
According to Globalstats, 10.6% of desktop users used Edge as their default browser in 2022. This meant that Microsoft was only beaten by Google Chrome, which has a share of 66.9% and is in a league of its own. Competitors such as Safari and Firefox were left behind.

Nevertheless, Microsoft seems to keep trying to force the Edge browser on users. Microsoft has now started informing IT administrators that Outlook and Teams will be forced to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

Outlook suddenly opens links in Edge:
How to revert to the default browser
If you use Outlook as part of Microsoft 365 and have set a default browser other than Microsoft Edge, Outlook may have recently surprised you with unusual behavior:
Links that you click on in Outlook no longer open as usual in the default browser, for example Chrome or Firefox. Instead, Edge starts.
Here's how to make Outlook use the default browser again
Click on "File" at the top left, select "Options", then "Advanced". Here you will find the menu item "Open links from Outlook in...". Change the selection from "Edge" back to "Default browser" and confirm with "OK". Outlook will now use your default web browser again instead of Edge. It is not necessary to restart the program.

So annoying! It took me a few attempts to fix myself a while back. Thanks for sharing nevertheless 🧡 And now I keep getting forces to switch to yet another bloaty “new” teams version! They know how to keep us busy 😅
That's way over the edge from Microsoft :)) Or way over Edge?
Interesting, I don't know this, I'm using Outlook for mail, also noticed that all my PDF files open in Edge, also Edge takes all my shortcuts and links from Chrome, but I still use Chrome as the main browser...

Thanks for the tip, for some reason, I don't like edge at all.
Thankfully, I don't use either. I prefer Firefox or Chromium. Thanks for the tips.
Congrats!
I like Edge but, boy, they're so annoying and steal the user freedom. If you want to make other browser as default, you'll to deal with Microsoft's messages trying to convince you to use Edge. Also is a pain in the ass change from Bing to Google as a default search engine.
Fully agree. 👍
