Not just a browser hijack, a Microsoft browser hijack

[matts-uk]

Surprised the announcement from the Office 365 team this week didn't make Hexus business news.

TL;DR Microsoft intend to deploy a search hijack targetted at Google Chrome initially and it has created a bit of a stir amongst Office 365 admins.

You can read the backlash here:

Beginning with Version 2002 of Office 365 ProPlus, Microsoft will install a browser extension that makes Bing the default search engine for Google Chrome, providing the benefits of Microsoft Search in the browser to those end users.
...

[How does this affect me?]
New installations of Office 365 ProPlus will include this extension. When you update your existing installation of Office 365 ProPlus, the extension is included unless Bing is already the default search engine in your tenant. The extension sets Bing as the default search engine by default
