This battle was lost a long time ago. There is no going back to sane defaults. Data collection is now the primary goal of paid and free products. You don’t own anything, and you will be happy. Of course, you can still use privacy-enabled products at home, but those options are limited, and not all your apps will be available. bsky.app/profile/ahhmandah.bsk…
I had to disable Chrome on Android because Google apps would keep opening Chrome after all my preferences were set to not use it. They removed some of the options to not use Chrome like in Google News, for example, so the only way to not is to disable Chrome.
Microsoft Teams actually has a feature called Browser prefrence, it has two options, "Microsoft Edge" and "your default Browser". Guess which option is the default
It's funny to see someone going to all that effort to stop using Edge, just to use Chrome instead. "No, I prefer the giant invasive corporation that makes my mobile operating system over the one that makes my desktop operating system."
