Microsoft specifically allows software in the category “browsers” to disable Recall.
- eviks 1y agoHow is this category defined? Can an app resister itself as a browser?
- aleph_minus_one 1y ago> Microsoft specifically allows software in the category “browsers” to disable Recall. 1. "Browser" does not mean "web browser": many kinds of applications can be considered a browser. 2. Even if you identify "browser" with "web browser": Electron apps are basically (web) browsers (though not fully functional ones). Nobody claimed said for a software to be in the "browser" category, it has to be a fully functional web browser.

- delfinom 1y agoIt doesn't. Windows is just checking if there's a protocol handler entry in the registry for http/https. In theory you don't abuse that because it will come up as a possible browser option for users. :shrug:
