Why does Outlook open hyperlinks in Safari when my default browser is set to Chrome?

I found an answer to my question online saying I can change it in the File > Options > Advanced settings, but I cannot find 'Options' under File.

How do I get Outlook to open hyperlinks in my default browser, not Safari?

    Hi @Rach

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The "File > Options > Advanced settings" is for Classic Outlook for Windows.

    I just tested on my side, and it works fine, the link opens in the default browser I have set.

    Can you please double check your settings?

    You can try close New Outlook for Mac and reopen it.

    Restart your Mac so the changes will be applied.

    Please try and let me know if it works for you, if not, we can try another approach for this issue.

    Warm thanks.
