Yep, I accidentally opened a news article when the news panel slid out without my knowledge, then I realised all my tabs, bookmarks, passwords, everything, was imported from chrome to edge. No consent, no nothing, it wasn’t even the first time I opened edge, it was just that this time it involved my data. Safe to say I reported it to the ACCC (Australian competition and consumer commission) and did as much as I could to erase my data from edge and stop edge from opening as easily.
And without your knowledge, it copies all data from your actual browser.
Yeah, Edge has been forbidden to execute in my antivirus (ESET HIPS) for a long time now.
Shit I should do that too, I already reported it (ACCC), I don’t think a second time is worth it.
Wait, what?!
