Monkey business with button lables, and redefinition of language--again
>> Now, let's talk about the prompt message and the buttons ...
It says: "With your permission, we'll collect and use ...". Now, the reason for this prompt is because I disabled this very option in the browser. But Microsoft seems to not like that, so it prompts me to reconsider, every now and then. Your choices are to click either Got it! or Learn more.
The latter takes you into the Settings, ergo disrupts your browsing and usage flow. You are FORCED to interact with the browser's shitty attempt to force you to give up your data, instead of you browsing like a normal human being. The former is worse. It TOGGLES the option on. So it's not an explicit YES. It's a vague indirect approval, which supposed stems from your "understanding" the message "With your permission" and that you're OK with it. <<
- uep 3y agoWow. It feels like that "Got it!" dialog box has to violate privacy laws at least somewhere in the world.
- polotics 3y agoWow indeed. Stealing approval like this is beyond the pale, no more Windows for me.
- hackinthebochs 3y agoGroup policy settings will keep it off. Can be set if you have a pro version of windows or a business/enterprise version. It's the only way I will trust using MS Edge.
- karmakaze 3y agoI noticed a similar thing when disabling anti-virus, realtime protection. In the notifications if you use the "Dismiss" option label, it will re-enable it. But if you dismiss the category of messages (or all messages) in your notifications sidebar it stays off.
