Microsoft Edge accused of using sneaky tactics to become default browser

Microsoft is attempting to make its Edge browser the default option for users accessing its Teams and Outlook platforms. According to the company, links from these two platforms will now open in Edge, even if users have selected a different browser as their default option. While Microsoft’s announcement suggested that using Edge would be beneficial for legacy Outlook apps, some users could be left frustrated as the browser may cause a significant slowdown in performance and efficiency.
