Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.
"We changed our privacy settings to allow us to snoop on what you're looking at and shove you ads accordingly. Feel free to opt out, but we'll probably opt you back in when you aren't paying attention."
Does anyone know if this is coming to (Chrome based) Edge?
For the last year and for all of the crap Google has been changing in Google Chrome, I've actually been pretty happy with Edge (never thought I'd be saying that).
My guess is that it's unlikely, Microsoft doesn't want to empower Google even more, and running your OS is everything they need to plunder your data
Side chat... am I the only one who has started finding Bing more useful than Google? I never thought I would type that statement out in my life...
It's truly shocking but yes, I don't immediately change search engine preferences when Edge defaults to Bing now.
