Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is ruining Outlook.com
About a week ago, I noticed that all URLs were suddenly extremely long/obscure, and beginning with something like: https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url= It destroys the URL visibil...
You were able to disable it...? how?
OMG, found it!! I'll finally be able to click links again! Ironically, here's a LINK to it: https://outlook.live.com/mail/options/premium/security
You can get there by:
1. Click the stupid diamond thing "premium" on the top, it will open settings in the premium section.
2. Click on the stupid Security subsection
3. Click o the stupid switch under "Advanced" sub-sub-section where there is a very long, evasive text - it's a bunch of crap how they keep you safe, as opposed to Microsoft reading all links that come through your email.
To be honest, I obviously don't really care that the Microsoft robots are collecting my information, otherwise I'd use a proper paid email system... the problem is that they are actually making me go through a portal to get to links and it's making my analysis of phishy links very difficult, I can't just check that the domain is what it should be in a split-second like I could before, not to mention it doesn't work through some proxies and adds a significant delay.
They could at least have the decency to inject a right-click menu with options like "view/copy insecure URL" and "open without protection" or some crap.
