On my work laptop, Teams has started to ignore my default browser settings. Firefox is still the default, and everywhere else links open there, but from Teams they open in edge anyway. Its really annoying
Pretty much every Microsoft service does this. IIRC, it’s a large part of what landed them in court for an antitrust lawsuit in the EU a few months ago. Basically, another company (probably Google) was saying that Microsoft ignoring users’ default browser options and forcing their own services to open in Edge was anticompetitive. And I mean, they’re not wrong.

That almost sounds like group policy bullshit
Yeah, the Microsoft group
Same if you click any of the ChatGPT copilot shit baked into the start menu.
This makes some vague sense since the way its implemented copilot is pretty much served trough edge.
The whole start menu is pretty much a skin for edge that can also search local files.
It absolutely sux, definitely feels predatory as it basically includes a keylogger, everything you type is considered a bing search and collected.
Get linux when your tired of it.
Already on Pop_OS ;)
I have windows dual booted for a couple things I can’t live or do school without and don’t have viable options for Linux
MSEdgeRedirect will fix that problem.
CTT Windoes Utility -> Tweaks -> Remove Microsoft Edge
Removed edge when I got my new computer about a year ago and haven’t seen it since.
I had same issue, some popup came up in teams I said ok to.
It switched my links to open in edge with teams pinned to the side. Very annoying
There is an option buried in teams settings somewhere that let’s you switch back to normal browser.
