At work, we use Safe Links in Microsoft Defender so examining the URL of a link in an email was always a pain, but Microsoft actually made a useful change recently. Now when I over over the link in Outlook, it displays the Original URL without all of the Safe Links gibberish. The link itself still goes through Safe Links, but the hover shows me the destination URL. I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed this.
We were doing that, until our infosec team needed to justify themselves, and decided an easy win would be to pay another vendor even more for the link protection that was already included in our Microsoft licensing.
