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.

Suddenly

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.

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...

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.
