Hi,
Normally my Outlook links open in my default browser Chrome.
Today they started to open in Edge even though Chrome is still the default browser.
How do I get them to open in Chrome again?
I am using Windows 11 with the Outlook app.
Thanks

This is a new feature in OUTLOOK and has nothing to do with the default apps in the OS settings.
Go to Outlook Options > Advanced > Link Handling > "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in:" > Select "Default Browser".
but WHYYYYY...leave my stuff alone!
Hi, I don't have the Link Handling option in Outlook Advanced options.
Now Outlook is pushing Edge too. When clicking on a URL in Outlook it default opens in Edge. In the advanced settings of Outlook you can change it back to your default browser. I am using Firefox as default and I want to stay using Firefox so this is very irritating.
Microsoft is constantly pushing their own apps to be the default. Very annoying. When I set my default browser that means I want to use a default browser for everything right? That's why its called a DEFAULT browser. Now I have to dig in the Advanced features of Outlook to tell Outlook it should use my DEFAULT browser when opening a URL.
They also changed my screen capture tool to the Microsoft snipping tool. I already had a better tool!
Somewhere the advanced settings of Windows you can revert to your own choice but this tying to their own products starts to get very annoying.
When clicking help in Windows its not using my default browser but heyy there is Edge again! " do you want to set Edge as recommended browser? When changing the defaults in Windows there is a " warning" message" You don't have to change your browser!! Windows has already a builtin browser based on chromium!! Well piss of with your sales pitch. I am here to make my own choices. This should be forbidden practices. We once had Internet explorer vs Netscape Navigator and Microsoft is doing the exact same thing again.

"new feature". The rigth word is "anti feature". it is hopefully somethig where MS get issues with the EU comission violating the DMA and other laws.
This is absolutly unserious, criminal behaviour from MS!! MS this is fraudulent behaviour. Your EDGE Malware sucks.
