Hi, I noticed that all my links in my Android Outlook app open in an in build browser instead of the app, (such as youtube) This is really frustrating as I have to do other steps to find the option to 'Open in browser' so it then opens in the youtube app. This is for all links amazon, twitter etc. 

Is there any way to disable this option? I am unable to find it in settings withtin the app.

Thanks

    I also have the same problem. 

    I click on a link from an email in Outlook and it opens in an internal browser. There is a swipe menu that you can then open it in your regular browser. 

    Facebook has a similar situation which they have a setting to open in outside browser only.

    This is not kosher in my view - hasn't MS gotten in trouble before by monopolizing apps?

    This is a really horrible change, and of Microsoft don't provide a way to switch it off I am going to have to change to a new browser.

    The problem is not just that web links do not open in my selected default web browser - which is annoying - it means that links that should open in certain apps do not, which breaks functionality on Android.
