Edge continues to be the only major browser with no end-to-end sync encryption
Wittycat I'm not too sure why US law would forbid them from implementing proper e2e encryption if it allows every other major browser to do it.
I agree that I would much rather a Microsoft employee have access to my browser data than a Google employee, but the fact of the matter is that unless you have a weak key, they can't, whereas Microsoft, through Edge, can.
I don't think they're going to implement it unless they receive enough pressure. The fact that they updated their privacy page to include a lot of convincing-sounding talk about encryption, without actually doing it correctly, is very discouraging. It reads to me like they're trying to weasel their way out of it.
ragingrei For the us law i think about the earn it law and other attend from all surveillance country to break encryption.
For Microsoft i just think they need more time to finish the sync (and since they are the first a really implement correctly the passwordless it's even possible that data are already planned to be encrypted without entering a password.
but like i said on stable one, sync isn't finished so i definitely think e2ee will arrive when they will have finished and totally stabilized the sync feature.
ragingrei if you have access to it, you are a lucky person, because they have started the activation on dev very recently and me on stable it's disabled
So i will wait and i'm pretty sure they will provide e2ee but only a member of microsoft can say for sure if it's in development or even planed.
