![]() ![]() So it’s jarring to have another window pop up. I keep my browser setups very different for that reason. I’m always testing articles on different browsers to see how they display. Honestly if my organization told me I had to use it, and give up Chrome, I’d do it.īut I’m a guy who uses different browsers for different things. About three years ago, Microsoft essentially threw out all their work and started again with a new browser based on Chromium (a cousin of Google Chrome’s.) The result is a browser that’s pretty fast, pretty secure, and uses Chrome extensions if you want. Mind you, I have nothing against Microsoft EdgeĮdge has really improved since I first tried it back in 2016. But that’s up to you.Ĭlick OK at the lower right to make your changes stick. While you are there, you can also check “Open supported hyperlinks to Office files in Office desktop apps” so you don’t get the largely useless previewer when you click on a link to a document. Then choose “Advanced.”Ībout 2/3 of the way down there is a dropdown to tell Outlook you want to open hyperlinks in the Default Browser. This is for the summer 2023 version, verson 2305.Ĭhoose “Options” at the lower left of the pane that comes up. Also, there’s expected to be a new version of Outlook in late 2023 that is completely different. If you use the web app, links will open in the same browser you have open. Note: this fix applies to the Desktop app only. You can bet there will be other ways they trap you. Opening web links in Edge is just the latest part. But, if your company uses Microsoft 365, especially Outlook and Teams, you’ll find it harder and harder to climb out of their apps. You can use your phone or web-based clients for practically anything. Of course, you have other choices today you didn’t have 30 years ago. It really seems like Microsoft wants to package Windows and “365” (the product that used to be called Office) all together and never give you a chance to get out of that ecosystem. They accused Microsoft of using its might to crush Netscape (which was essentially true) and making it hard for people to use non-Microsoft apps within Windows (which was also true.) Now it seems like they’re doing it all again. Back in the 1990s, the US government was so worried about Microsoft’s tight integration between apps and operating system that they launched a full-on investigation. I guess that’s long enough for a new generation to come in, and try the same old shenanigans. It’s been almost 30 years since Microsoft barely survived being broken up. It’s not the biggest problem you face all day, but if you’re like me you’ll find it’s one of those little things that just grates on you. This means a separate browser window opening up and a different experience than you’re used to. Even if you have Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or something else set as your default browser for Windows, links within Outlook messages will still open on Microsoft Edge. The latest version of Microsoft Outlook desktop has gained an annoying habit. It’s one of life’s little annoyances, and I’m going to help you get rid of it.
