I shouldn’t have to be a lucky mf that stumbles upon an article by coincidence that explains how to configure his web browser to not send pictures I look at across the atlantic ocean without my knowledge. WTF is going on.
It’s only in the Canary version for now.
Although the feature sounds exciting, recent Microsoft Edge Canary updates have provided more information on how image enhancement works.
IDK about that, there are many claims from users of it being available on stable. I believe it’s another one of those A-B test things so it’s only available for a subset of stable users.
Wow. You’d have to be either crazy or ignorant to still want to use Edge.
I adopted Edge when it started out as a more lightweight Chrome. After that I eventually just got used to it, like a frog being slow-cooked? And now I find it hard to leave, even though it’s gotten more and more bloated. Edge has a really nice text to speech feature with natural voices that I use a lot. I’ve read a lot of books in the two years I’ve been using edge. If I could find an alternative with that feature that was also cross-platform I would gladly switch in a heartbeat.

Parkour!
Microsoft just don’t know how not to be assholes it seems.
Never did. I am reminded of the whole “Embrace, extend, and extinguish” tactic they use(d).
It’s pretty brutal.
If you think Edge is a bust, I got news for you: if you are using Windows, pretty much everything spies on you now days. :)
To anyone who used Linux once upon a time and got scared off - try it again. Nowadays so much works without any config, driver support is so much better and, at least with my last year using Fedora, it’s incredibly stable.
And if you get stuck, ChatGPT is so good at helping you through the experience. Also, IMO, once you spend a week or so to get used to Gnome desktop environment it’s better than both windows and macos.
I really wouldn’t tell anyone to rely on ChatGPT for technical support. It’s fine if you already sort of know what you’re doing, but it has a tendency to “lie” very convincingly and come up with either broken or even potentially harmful solutions

Easy fix: use Firefox or ungoogled Chromium instead of Edge.
