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.
- dotancohen 1y agoHow does the OS know that foobar application is 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:
