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.

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.
