As of a few years ago, independent tests of telemetry back to Bing, immutable hardware-derived identification, and add-on security of the Edge store were not good.
- xp84 2y agoI guess I'm not convinced Microsoft is serious enough about monetizing my data and attention the way Google is. I'm assuming (generously, to be fair) that Microsoft mainly wants to optimize their software rather than use the data to maximize the effectiveness of their ad business, which seems hobby-level to me. > immutable hardware-derived identification, Is this in the telemetry data? Not in headers, right? Just curious to learn more

Tabs, history, etc. Google appears to be more careful, speculatively because it would be easier to prove anti-trust if Google blocked Microsoft’s collecting.
