At least the current version gives you a choice and remembes it. Outlook a few years ago, after an update, required you to open links in their built in web view. Took them a few months to reverse course on that stupid decision.

GPT-4 powered

thanks for the warning!

now let me find something that works instead

GPT-4 powered browser

No faster way to get me to avoid your product than by jamming AI where it's not needed

I work in IT at a company who uses outlook, but has locked down the phones so the users can’t install anything.

I can say without a reason of the doubt that outlook on Android is hateful.

It’s still a 2010 era android app with non of the desktop features working. Like the signature not syncing with your saved ones. And focused inbox hiding important emails.

But since the phones are locked down. These dark patten ads are twice as annoying since the user thinks there phone is broken. They just removed the Microsoft 2fa prompts on setup. But I saw this and almost cried.

Don’t assume that users are smart enough to read or understand how this works. They press buttons until it works. If we didn’t force google play to not allow edge to download our users would’ve been in a much harder situation to support.

I really wish users would learn the slightest bit how to use their shit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck outlook, the app is trash.

Nine works great for exchange servers, if you can't escape the Microsoft infrastructure altogether.

Looks like the new reviews say otherwise

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've been using it for 12+ years, and still do to this day. The only thing that changed is that you have to use the Microsoft authenticator app to log on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Oh, that's not too bad. I'm stuck using that for a bunch of things

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not even bad they're just annoying. Currently the only one I'd use is firefox. It has all the features without the bad things so far. Opera has many ads and also ai and a crypto wallet so i'm going with firefox...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Vivaldi is basically just old opera without all the bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

they are desperate for someone to use their spyware filled Browser with AI shoved down your throat

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

I'm surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

outlook lol

GPT-4 powered browser? Like they needed to make Edge an even less attractive offering or what?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago

It's like how they're adding the useless copilot key to every single laptop that ever is released

gpt-4 powered browser

kill me

"Get Microsoft Edge to open" ? Why not just "Open Microsoft Edge"?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

They don’t have Edge installed so they are being requested to get it so that they can open the link.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Because Microsoft Edge is a app that doesn't come pre-installed on Android devices

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This is a shitshow. I use open source mobile office suite and Outlook continually refuses to open PDF or other documents as nothing is installed, so would I like to use their bag of shit instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Quick question, what suite are you using on mobile? Haven't managed to find mutch open source stuff to edit word documents.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I use CollabraOffice and also muPDF. Collabra is great for viewing and some minor work, but I try to use libreoffice on my laptop running Debian for real productivity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I use onlyoffice :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Just had a look. Much appreciated, thanks mate.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

surely you get this only if you have edge already installed?

if you just stop edging on your device, wouldn't this pop-up never appear?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Confirming, you get this even if you don't have Edge installed. It will take you to the store page.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Lots of apps override the default behaviour when opening links and ask you to use a specific browser. I actually do use Edge and have been asked if I wanted to use Chrome.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

No, I don't have edge and don't want it.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can't wait for GPT in my email client, so that it falls for phishing schemes when I'm relaxing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can tell you aren't using outlook

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah the place I work implemented the "enterprise version" of outlook with their garbage AI built in.

I've never used the AI once, and if they don't give a shit about company data that's fine by me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I'd take that in a heartbeat. I want my meetings and emails summarised, minutes written for me.
That's the kind of daily crap I don't want to have to do myself.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

God ChatGPT sucks so much.
