Microsoft is ignoring browser choice again
Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.
Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

Doesn't surprise me at all, the company I work for has gone all in with AzureAD SSO and that will only work on Edge (edge supplies info for the MS asset verification software that constantly eats my CPU) so now we can't use anything other than Edge for any internal service and need to develop for Edge if we are writing an internal tool.
It also works just fine with Chrome, there's an extension you need to install. It's a Chromium feature they're leveraging. I know this because we're in the same boat as you. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Firefox.
Not sure how the setup differs but ours does not work with chrome, only edge
