Welp, the biggest reason that I use Edge just got thrown out, time to switch to Firefox.

  The telemetry and ads (on start page) didn't bother you? I'm surprised there's seemingly a contingent of people who are too lazy to install any other chrome fork (eg. Brave), but are motivated enough to up sticks and switch to firefox the moment ublock is removed.

    Ad blocking is a big deal.

    At least that's something I can just rant about a couple of times a year, and enjoy tracker blocking the rest of the time.

  Until 2023, Edge was sending every URL you visited to bingapis.com. Microsoft's current privacy statement also says "Depending on your settings, this browsing history is sent to Microsoft"

    That seems to be true to every major application release by MS. No, the OS is of course secure, pinky promise!

    > Microsoft's current privacy statement also says "Depending on your settings, this browsing history is sent to Microsoft" Edge allows to sync history (as Chrome and Firefox also do). Given that functionality, what else do you want them to say in their privacy statement..?

    Sent to MS is one thing - OneDrive/sync/etc. Used by MS and processed for nefarious purposes is another. Does it say that it 'may' be used for telemetry purposes?
