How to open links in Hotmail in a browser??

This has been driving me insane for a year since I bought my phone. When I'm on my a52 Galaxy phone, and I click on a link in a Hotmail email, it only opens in Outlook, and it doesn't open in a browser. Which means if I have to for example have a code sent to me to be able to get into a site because I forgot my password or some such, I can't do it because I have to exit the program because I'm stuck in Outlook and I can't do anything else. I am hoping against hope there is a setting on my phone that I'm just unaware of!
 
I've seen this recommendation in several places. But on my phone when I go into my Outlook app, and I go to settings, there is no "open links in browser" option. Anywhere. I've been looking for an option like that for a year. A great example is this thread. I got an email showing you had replied. So I clicked on the View Reply link, and it only opens in my email. It doesn't open in a separate browser.

This is the only option I have that looks remotely like what you're recommending. And it doesn't work.
