The web browser does communicate with their servers, clearly, since it’s installing Copilot on enterprise servers.

I’m using Outlook on my Android phone for my really old school Hotmail account. Yes, I have Gmail too but this is just one I’ve had for years.
When I tried opening an external link it asked me if I wanted to use Edge and has it selected above my “default FF” option… I mean, what the hell guys.

I have FF set as default browser. Teams opens any link in edge.
Microsoft has fully gone off the deep end of batshit crazy
