What is Edge browser's privacy story? Is it any good?


In summary, Microsoft tracks you instead of Google.


It used to be great. Chrome without the Google tracking and some Microsoft tracking that was easy enough to disable.

Then they completely Microsofted it up. More tracking than Google, with more opting out you need to do and no way to opt out completely. Even comes with an interest free loan plugin that sometimes alters the HTML of checkout pages.

Edge is the bloated corpse of what could be the best new browser from the last 10 years. A corpse that keeps coming back to life, trying to replace your default browser every other Windows update.


Even chattier.
