Two questions:
1) Do I have to actively use Edge - or does this happen automatically in the background - even if I never open an Edge window?
2) Does any of the data gathered that way find it's way into Windows telemetry (anonymized or not)?
Since I'm neither "allowed" to uninstall Edge, nor "allowed" to fully disable telemetry...
Someone in here writes that there is a possibility that Edge sends its browser history (imported or not) to Microsoft servers...
- computerfriend 3y agoYou are allowed to uninstall MS Windows though.

(And I'm guessing it won't be hard to do that outside the EEA either.)
