add a setting to disable this new built in browser. Also, it is super annoying that it disregards system settings for launching apps.

This function is very inconvenient. Would strongly prefer to see it removed or an option to disable.

At the bare minimum, provide open in browser from the long press on a link instead of forcing users to open the inbuilt browser - I believe this used to exist.
But preference would be for the option to exist in the application. -

when clicking on a link in an email, I am not going to the app the link refers to or my regular browser in case of a website url anymore.
no, it opens in some in-app browser with bad usability without my credentials etcetera.please, send us to the right app / browser again.

The new "feature" where email links open within Outlook instead of opening to a browser or app is going to be the reason I quit using Outlook.
I have waited patiently for weeks for an update to make it optional, but it is actually killing me, especially since Outlook doesn't have my site credentials saved and many sites don't work correctly.
Now when I receive a link I click the link, wait for it to load (if it doesn't freeze), click the ellipses, click open in browser, wait for it to load again, just to be where I wanted to be in the first place. It's awful. Please, please, please make it stop.

Super annoying, please add setting to turn the built in browser off and respect my choice of default browser.

When clicking links in emails, the built-in browser rarely actually works and it does not have access to existing passwords and logins. Please get rid of it.

I know Microsoft is trying to compete with other browser's, but if you don't want to lose customers, you should allow them the option of choosing what your app does. The more you limit the usability of your products the less likely people are to be repeated users, and more likely to seek out more user friendly options.

Suddenly or due to some change that I made with Outlook, I can no longer click on a link in my email to have it open in my default browser (currently Chrome) in Android. Instead, when I click on a link, a secondary popup window opens and displays the link. I then have to select the option to "Open In Browser".

Yes, the built-in is really limited in feature. I wish I could go back to when it used to open links in chrome and not the built-in browser

Or at least allow me to turn the built-in browser off.

links used to open in chrome or other default browser, but in the last month or 2 links have started opening within the outlook app. no accounts or passwords are saved or present so every time you go to a link you must sign in each and every time to the link you access, instead you now have to click down the bottom and then choose to open it in a browser. can we skip the middle man there please?

Why would you totally break this once great app? Oh I forgot, it seems to be Microsoft policy to do this. Like you replaced Window Live mail app with a useless Windows 10 email app. Like you replaced Skype messenger with your own rubbish version. What's next to be down graded. Over 4 months since you broke this app and nothing! Developers seem to have plenty time to spend on non essential things like "show your pride" but not for critical functionality. What are you guys thinking?

I open a link and the outlook browser is not my choice of browser to use. I understand I can switch, but when I do, personalized things in the link disappear and I just end up on the websites homepage. I prefer using another browser and would like any link selected to open directly in the browser of my choice

Recently you have changed how links work and i have to use your in app browser with no option turning this off. Previously when i clicked on a link i had an option to choose browser or direct to the associated app, this has now gone which is extremly frustrating and makes the whole process of bringing up my details / data painful
