The title is a little clickbaity - the behaviour can be changed:

“ Ultimately though, if this experience isn't right for you, you can turn off this feature the first time it launches in Microsoft Edge, and then in Outlook settings at any time after that. ”

Having said that, Microsoft seem to be entering another phase of baiting antitrust regulators.

> this experience isn't right for you

What kind of post-Orwellian shitfuckery is this? It really grinds my gears when a prompt puts words in your mouth (e.g. "Yes, please" or "No thanks, maybe later") but this reaches a new level by trying to reframe something as simple as wilfully ignoring a stated preference. It sounds like a modern car ad in that it's all about catering to you the "main character" writing your own story and presenting themselves as the facilitators of your perfect customised destiny.

But they're just trying to change your browser and hope you have enough to worry about that you won't notice and their metric will tick up.
