[return to "Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default"]

Its getting worse everywhere:

some things I've noticed: Mobil Safari seems to be using the search bar to hijack my google search (Particularly for locations which open in apple maps)

Although I'm mostly linux these days I went to install an alternative browser on a windows machine (using edge to download). I mentioned this in another post, but edge seems to watch for "chrome" or "firefox" downloads and politely reminds you that 'Edge is a great browser with added "trust of microsoft"' (A company who happen to be watching when you download a web browser).

Linux seems like an OS that is way more respectful.

That’s a configurable suggestion in Safari. Go to Settings > Safari and turn off ‘Safari suggestions’

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I wish they would label that section of the results (would have given a hint to what it was). The google search results are labeled and appear below those unlabeled suggestions.

It feels a little sneaky to me (like having to go to settings to turn off the a"subscribe to apple music" in the music app..)
