While I hate all the telemetry and behind the scenes crap going on in Windows (that can't be disabled), you are still free to use whatever browser you prefer. It's a minor annoyance, and happens just once.

If users don't speak app soon Windows will turn into an ad-infested user abusefest. And if it makes to Windows, and survives, pretty much everybody else will follow.
