@bitflipped @dvladar @campuscodi configure Edge to use an intercepting proxy and watch just how much it’s phoning home (and beyond) before you’ve even browsed to a site or typed a word. I use it at work, and it’s fine, but it’s not Chrome minus the privacy concerns.

@fordy8k @dvladar @campuscodi I didn't say it's got no privacy concerns. As I said in my original reply, Chrome sets a low bar. Edge simply improves on surface level privacy such as supporting adblocking out of the box to an extent.

@bitflipped @fordy8k @dvladar @campuscodi If you care about privacy at all, you should consider using either Vivaldi (chrome-based), Firefox (gecko-based), or if you must Brave, but using Edge, a browser literally watching your every move by Microsoft.

@scottytrees @fordy8k @dvladar @campuscodi my moves are relatively uninteresting, and when I'm using Windows & Edge a lot of the sites I visit are operated by Microsoft anyway.

@fordy8k @bitflipped @dvladar @campuscodi Edge still has privacy issues, but Microsoft's business model is not entirely "sell your data" like Google.

I am not sure you can ever really get 100% away from privacy issues.
