  • I actually recently added the Microsoft logout page to µblocks domain filter at work, since it would every now and then trigger a logout the very first page load after I’d log in to the email there.

    This has also somehow caused a bunch of other AD-connected systems to suddenly behave a lot better when it comes to session termination.

     

    Edit: Since people were asking for it, this is what you need to add to the “My filters” tab in your UBO config;

    ||login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/logout^$document
    

    This will prevent any requests from redirecting you to log out, timeouts etc will still invalidate your session.


  • They actually did a study on it after rolling back to Windows, and it turned out to not have failed due to technical difficulties at all.
    If I recall correctly they stated that something like 80-90% of all issues reported during the period were due to badly designed processes - processes which were the same as in Windows, and the number of technical issues actually dropped.

    Certainly, the fact that Microsoft promised to build a fancy new HQ in the city if they switched back to Windows can’t have had anything to do with the choice to roll back…
