Use edge? Better peruse this one

Apparently as I continue to play catchup, we have something that came across our desk that should be given to people as something to be aware of.

Apparently, Edge has a new feature which is on by default. While it is harmless at first glance, it goes to a link called bing api’s. I’m writing it this way so people know what it is.

Sites like porn hub are blocked, and allows you to track your favorite followers around the web, according to microsoft.

They claim this was in testing last year, and then rolled out to more users this year.

Turning off this creator option which nobody probably knows exist will solve this potential leak.

To read more, read The Verge and their coverage titled Microsoft Edge is leaking the sites you visit to Bing – The Verge.

I personally don’t use edge, although it is available to me. Its a personal preference of mine, but I’ll go make sure that I turn this option off. I don’t even know if my edge is up to date or not anyway.

Have a great day, stay safe.
