Microsoft tests out locking in links opened from Windows 10 Mail to Edge browser

Microsoft is trying something unusual out reportedly for the sake of security. It’s trying out an update for Windows 10 that will change the way links are opened from its built-in mail app. Links that are sent through Windows 10 Mail client will be opened in Microsoft Edge, even if other browsers are installed on your PC. According to a note sent to “Windows Insider” testers, “We will begin testing a change where links clicked on within the Windows Mail app will open in Microsoft Edge, which provides the best, most secure, and consistent experience on Windows 10 and across your devices.”
