Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 year agoAs someone else mentioned, the weather app does it too on windows 11. Who knows what else? It is exploiting their control of the OS to stifle competition if they’re making it so it’s harder to use the competition’s products. Sure, teams isn’t in a domoninant position, but Microsoft and Windows are. To imply this is just about teams is to ignore the bigger picture. What if they made it so you couldn’t add shortcuts to other browsers? Clearly that’d be too far, right? What’s the difference between that and not allowing links to be opened by another browser?

IOS didn’t allow you to set a default browser other than Safari for years and still doesn’t allow third party browsers to use their own web rendering engine.
If the DoJ don’t care about that, they done care that Teams ignores your default browser.
Again, I don’t condone what they’re doing. I just doubt the Justice department will care.
