"Monitor all your activity by default" is serious FUD here. There is some telemetry data collected and phoned home, but it's not like they're monitoring what websites you go to, what you write in your Word docs, etc.
- dx034 9y agoNot contents but behaviour. They do monitor if you use Chrome or IE, if you use Excel and for how long, etc. This alone is powerful enough.
- PrimHelios 9y agoLast time I checked, Edge still sent all your keystrokes to Microsoft in plaintext and over HTTP (not HTTPS). So yeah, they are (at least were) monitoring not only what sites you went to, but also what you typed into them.
- skrowl 9y agoCan you provide a source / proof of that statement?
- viraptor 9y agoWent looking for it just in case it's true and... nothing. There's a case of predictive text system in windows 10 which can query for suggestions (there's an option to disable it), but no keylogger either in edge or windows that I can find. And the predictive text didn't use HTTP.
- you_are_wrong 9y agoYou should check more thoroughly, because that claim is complete bollocks.
- tomcam 9y agoCannot confirm--what toolset did you use to determine this?
