Edge

Why is edge such a lousy browser. It's the only browser that could possibly ask you to reject or except cookies twice?..why do you need this unless they want to track the crap out of you. It tries to force you to except bing, as if I need that. When I go to my favourites they're missing and so is privacy badger and Ublock.

    Edge may prompt for cookie acceptance when you first visit a site and again when the site attempts to set cookies, especially if you have strict privacy settings enabled.

    Edge, like some other browsers, has built-in privacy and tracking protection features that sometimes prompt for cookie acceptance multiple times, especially when sites are trying to set cookies or when privacy settings are strict.

    Edge is really annoying. Just switch to another browser and stop suffering. I recommend Chrome.
