Microsoft Outlook Safelinks

I am using Microsoft Outlook for Mac Version 16.61 and safari as a default browser. Whenever I try to open a link in my email the outlook attaches a link pior to the URL. The link keeps on loading in safari but never opens. But if I open this link in chrome browser it opens instantly. I am tired of copy pasting links to chrome. Do you know what could be the problem? Only the safelinks URL has problems in safari, everything else works well in the browser.

I think that's a question for Microsoft, but I believe this answer from Microsoft's support website is applicable to your concern.


Can I turn off Safelinks?


To provide the best protection for your account, Safelinks are on by default. You can turn them off by signing in to https://outlook.live.com. Then select Settings > Premium > Security. There's a toggle under Advanced Security that you can use to turn off Safelinks. Note that turning off Safelinks will only affect future messages you receive. It won't change the link format in messages you've already received.
