Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.
Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.
Gmail does this too. I’m pretty sure my adblocker handles them on my PC but I see them on the mobile app all the time.
We use o365 for work so I’m seeped in that environment already. I tried using o365 for my personal email for about 3 months and finally gave up and went back to gmail.
But Gmail includes ads disguised as emails too?
Does it? Never had one.
Its usually in the separate tab, the “promotion” tab, where they send most subscriptions emails. It’s not good, but it could be miles worse. Yahoo mail for example is a lot worse: you get Ads in the website taking away screen space unless you pay a premium
I don’t have a promotions tab either. Or any tab for that matter.
Edit: I turned the tabs on, no ads in the promotions tab either. Maybe it’s not a thing in my country.
Yup.
