"Microsoft Resolves Edge Browser Bug Stealing Chrome Tabs and Data"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Verge
Microsoft has fixed a bug in its Edge browser that was automatically importing browsing data and tabs from Chrome without user consent. This issue has raised concerns about Microsoft's tactics to promote its web browser, including using harmful design tactics and ignoring default browser settings. The Digital Markets Act in EEA markets will address some of these tactics, allowing users to uninstall Edge and enabling search providers to extend the main Windows Search interface with their own custom web searches.
