Disable Microsoft Safe Links
When enabled, "Microsoft Defender for Office 365" uses a feature called "Safe Link" to replace links in emails with URLs that go through Microsoft's servers. I consider this an invasion of my privacy.
The Firefox addon detects when you open a "Safe Link" and, instead of sending your data to Microsoft, it directly opens the original URL.
