Why does the thumbnail for this article appear nowhere on the page? Here it is.
My guess is that either the image was there and was edited out, or there is a metadata tag on the post that lists that as the thumbnail, but the page isn’t otherwise using it.
The <meta> tag is where I got it.

Why are we trusting Microsoft for anything privacy related? Lol
Was “staying away from Edge” not already standard?
It is for me
I posted on /r/bing a few days how now you can’t turn off tracking or history in edge but can’t find the article and don’t want to give reddit any traffic to check…
Stick to firefox.
Fr, firefox with extensions on pc. And Kiwi browser with extensions on phone.
why not firefox on mobile?
Why not Mull on mobile?
I was confused by this too, since Firefox on mobile has extension support
Yep, and there are Beta or Nightly for people who also want about:config, or Fennec for people who want all that on a stable release
You need to stay away from Microsoft. Period. https://youtu.be/MMc5zgALLiY
I mean I’m not surprised it’s… It’s Microsoft.
Edge is just an edgy meme at this point
Ridiculous.
Also, probably shouldn’t use Edge in general. I only use it at work, since it’s mandated.You’d think that more corporations would be worried about corporate espionage through web browsers, email clients, etc. all being created by one company with a history of bad privacy practices.
Corporations don’t want to ditch their IE only intranets - they don’t have a choice but to use Edge for IE Mode now that IE is retired.
it doesn’t make any difference because no one uses it anyway. am I right?
I always use a combination of LibreWolf or Ungoogled Chromium for websites that don’t work in LW, but my work insists we use and recommend Edge, their reason being that if a user has trouble in Edge we should know how to fix it, especially as it’s the browser we should be recommending.
Good to know I need to be especially careful of what I view on Edge now though… Yikes.
As long as that feature can be disabled, which also clearly states that it sends stuff to Microsoft, I don’t see the big problem. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are many features enabled by default of dubious privacy.

I’ve only ever used edge to download another browser or when on a clients server. Edge works ok, but I would never use it as my daily browser.
I’ve lost count of how many times i’ve clicked ‘continue without my data’, just open the damn browser please.
My god! Being based on chromium and developed by Microsoft were already 2 reasons to stay away. Why would they feel the need to send viewed images back to Microsoft?
I wonder if this includes private images from iCloud/google photos.

i hate to be that guy butlinux is worth the switch
