How to Change Default Browser in Outlook – When you click a web link within the Outlook application, the browser that opens is often the one that is pre-installed on all operating systems, including Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
Nevertheless, Microsoft intends to make Microsoft Edge the default browser for accessing online links in Outlook 365, according to a recent release. It states that you still have the option to utilize the default browser on your Windows computer or Microsoft Edge. But take notice that this only works with Windows 10 and 11 devices running Outlook 365 on Outlook Build 16.0.16227.20280 or later.
Outlook will continue to open links in the system’s default browser (formerly Safari for Mac) for other versions and/or other systems, such as Mac. Therefore, you must modify your system’s default browser in order to access links in Outlook using a different browser.
