Microsoft's new "context preservation" keeps you from losing the thread of your conversation and keeps you inside Microsoft's browser engine, whether you want to be there or not.

    Woof.

    As a web developer. I can’t wait to get bug reports caused by this monstrosity.

    That’s not even touching the maliciousness of this entire exercise.

      I’m pretty sure this will happen to anyone that has a copilot “compatible” pc and install the patch Tuesday updates… If they use copilot or not.

      Tbh I’m surprised they found this bug.

      Microsoft apparently doesn’t do QA testing anymore and* the average Copilot user is a tech illiterate troglodyte who never changed the WiFi password on their modem and doesn’t know what a bug report is.

      *Oh shit. That is a feature? Intented use??

    They did this with outlook before so it not a new trend. Though the question is if they have added an option to open externally like in other apps. (I’m not going to install the pos to check the settings.)
