This does make a bit of sense; Edge on Windows logs you into 365 and keeps the authentication around. So company links/attachments on Outlook can open easier on Edge using the 365 credentials. Now, if only they were actually smarter about which 365 profile's mail you are reading in Outlook (for those of us that are working across multiple orgs) and open the link under that profile on Edge, that would be awesome.
Edge makes a lot more sense as a smarter 365 client than it does as a browser, but it's not a bad browser either.
Yeah, no. This is insanity. Firefox can keep your authentication too. Just login on FF or show a prompt. WHAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF TOKENS. It already works perfectly fine with non-Edge browsers. This is ridiculous anti-competitive garbage and I can't believe people are defending it.
