Edge 118: updated on-page search may send data to Microsoft
(www.ghacks.net)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Interesting , this has implications for pages that are not on public internet. Viewing confidential/secret company documents in edge?
You left out the important bit before that:
Seems like nothing gets sent if you do a normal exact search.
Yeah but isn't that what the whole article is about? And is it enabled by default or opt in?
For now.
Future edge patch note:
Haha j/k, there won't be a patch note, and the fix will probably be a heuristic to determine if the user isn't a security expert analyzing their traffic to determine if it's sending more than it should be, with it defaulting to off until that heuristic reports a hit.
