Edge and Privacy

That tweet has a lot of flaws, i suggest not to believe anything you find on the internet if there is some codes attached to it it doesn't make it legit.

Here's why:
1. i went over my edge canary privacy settings and there are quite a few options that let edge send visited websites urls to the microsoft. those options are Not related to smart screen that the twitter guy is talking about. microsoft is not hiding the fact that they send urls. they are doing it in a justified manner using the built in settings.

2. also there are options inside windows that can send visited websites to microsoft.
3. since the new edge is considered an insider software then it can probably override windows' privacy settings to enable full send of data. windows insider does this, so it wouldn't be surprising if the edge insider does the same once installed.
4. I STRONGLY disagree with the saying that all other browsers are angels and they never call home and only microsoft edge does this. that's the biggest lie lol. if anything, Google's chrome browser is the mastermind of all these. they have data about you that you can't even possible imagine. the same applies to apple safari and the rest. these kinds of accusations and only emphasizing on one piece of software and filter out the rest of the companies is both shady and fishy.

5. other browsers definitely do the same, they can do it in an encrypted way so that man in the middle attacks like that can't reveal anything.

6. using Vivaldi or any other browser doesn't mean you are safe or your privacy is..i dont know...intact?

when you are on the internet, you hand over the control of your data to someone else. that someone can be an individual or an agency.
