This definitely has some Microsoft Edge vibes to me.
Somehow Microsoft was still quiet sucessfull with Edge in large parts of the society.
Yes that's true and I'm sure it isn't that bad. I just don't like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It's kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn't care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
Funny enought i installed Edge on Linux in order to use Teams decently. But happily avoid Microsoft elswhere.
Teams works fine in Vivaldi or any chromium browser on Linux.
I use Safari on my Mac, and Google is just about as bad.
If I open the Gmail site on my iPhone in Safari, I have to click past a giant "INSTALL GMAIL APP" button to get to the teeny-tiny (no thanks, continue on mobile web) link.
That said, I use Chrome on my Windows PC and Edge is frickin' annoying. It's like when you go to a car lot just to look, and the doofus in khakis and a polo won't let you walk around in peace.
