Edge/IE doing what they do make me want to swap to Linux. Edge is a resource hog and also tries to run in the background during startup. I thought I paid for a computer. Why can't I uninstall this bloatwear easily?

Today is a good day to start dual booting or at least look at it via a live usb boot. I would recommend Linux Mint for starter, If you don't like how it looks, no problem you will be able to install another Desktop later, just start getting familiar with it. https://linuxmint.com/
Looks like Microsoft is due for another anti trust lawsuit. They should remember Bill’s fun adventures in capitol hill.
I guess we are never regulating tech companies again even though this behavior was already blocked by the FTC Microsoft case twenty years ago.
Doesn't surprise me at all, the company I work for has gone all in with AzureAD SSO and that will only work on Edge (edge supplies info for the MS asset verification software that constantly eats my CPU) so now we can't use anything other than Edge for any internal service and need to develop for Edge if we are writing an internal tool.
Ugh noticed this earlier today and thought it was something on my end (setting messed up or reverted), but nah just Microsoft making it hard to love windows as usual
Microsoft always pushing things way too much, unnecessarily.
But I actually like the feature. I use Outlook for corporate email and Edge for work related stuff. Firefox is my default browser. It was always confusing to open a link on an email message on the "wrong" browser.
Now this doesn't happen. Links on emails open correctly on the work browser.
But we should definitely have an option to choose which browser we would like the links to open on.
It happened to me last week and it pissed me off. If i wanted to use Edge I would, Microsoft needs to cut the pushy shit out.
There's a setting for this in Outlook now, basically a toggle to choose either edge or the system default.
Not nice to have an extra setting for it but at least it can be turned off
What's even the point of having a system default if apps are just going to ignore it?
I use this and never had a problem again. https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
However I cannot comment on Office since I use FOSS office software (OnlyOffice). Please try it and let us know how it works out. It redirects everything I do to OperaGX (my preference) including those "START" searches.
With their new upcoming UI that breaks existing Outlook addins (and sucks too btw) and this one. I can't wait for people to do away with Outlook. I'm the only one at work that even uses Thunderbird (with Owl for exchange addon). Was laughing my ass last time that Outlook had a zero day and our IT was telling us to not use the Outlook app until the zero day is fixed.
Btw this is what the new Outlook looks like
It looks like the web version, breaks addons and alot of features that the current one has are missing.
As long as people continue using MS products they'll be victims to this BS. Switching my family to Linux (Currently Fedora, will later try Debian again) has been a blessing for everyone here.
Hit this 2 weeks ago at my job and it cheesed me off. Also at the same time? Microsoft began requiring you to label your teams comment with a Subject Line. Like.... what?
Microsoft, do you even understand what chat is for?? It's supposed to be quick and informal!
Microsoft has been so aggressive with forcing their services on you it’s ridiculous. Hope more people are jumping to Firefox/Linux and such
My computer did that for the first time today but it was accompanied by a popup which said something like "do you want me to keep opening links in Edge or use the default (Chrome)?" I clicked Chrome and that was the end of that.
Are the people who are being forced to use Edge the same people who don't or can't read popups and who choose the most obvious "get out of the way" button?
Google Chat desktop app does the same thing but opens all links in chrome. I need to use both teams and chat for my company and client's teams so I'm constantly getting one or the other browser opened on me. Infuriating
