Microsoft Edge's URL tracking to Bing raises privacy concerns.
Microsoft's Edge browser's content-follower feature, which is on by default, may be sending information about every site visited to Microsoft-owned "bingapis.com" domain, including locally hosted URLs and IP addresses. The feature was intended to notify Bing only when users were on specific sites they had elected to follow, but it appears to be sending nearly every domain visited to Bing. Microsoft said it is aware of the issue and will take appropriate action to address it. Users can disable the feature in the Edge settings to prevent URL-leaking.
