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.

    If you work for an EU company using Outlook might be illegal, as they now send all emails unencrypted via their own servers.

    At our work place, which is mostly Linux, some people have been using outlook if they opt to use windows or Mac or android or iPhone. And when outlook started to send all emails via their own servers (not respecting your smtp settings and such), we instated a full ban on using all outlook clients on all platform.

    It’s really sad, as a Linux user I think outlook used to be the best email client period. Before this privacy hell and before adds in the program of course.

      Hi. Do you have some documentation for the unencrypted mail part? Doesn’t sound very GDPR compliant depending on the information sent, off course.
