Not necessarily, I'm using Pop!OS but my workplace AzureAD SSO mandates Edge on Linux so you're not safe.

So where's the group policy to turn this shit off?
Maybe some people will just give up on outlook finally and use a good email client or the webapp, neither of which will do this shit.

Use Thunderbird
As much as I love Thunderbird, I do not want to retrain Outlook users. I just want Microsoft to use my chosen browser.
I am wondering what happens if you don't have Edge installed
I don't know if you can even remove it. Isn't it just the shortcut that you can remove?
I could be wrong.
That was the case with IE so ime sure Edge is the same. Windows specifically uses only Edge for its OS browser needs "for updates"
It's possible to uninstall it (and many other things like Cortana) through the AppX package manager built into Windows 10, but most people wouldn't know how to do that. There's no option on the apps management panel to uninstall it.
I don't know if it's still the case with Windows 11, but I would assume it's still possible.

More like Asshole Design
What keeps me from moving to Firefox is the Translation option. Edge and Chrome are so good at quickly making the page available to read in my language. Firefox is not so good at this and requires adding which don’t seem to deliver the same functionality. At least from what I have found. So if someone has tips there, please share.
