[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 898762, member: 39702"] Keep in mind default Windows 10 telemetry option is [I]Full [/I]and that these settings are also applied to Microsoft Edge. Full option collects a lot of data including what you visit. You also have to keep in mind that Edge tracks telemetry by [B]device ID[/B] which cannot be changed. Other browsers use [B]installation ID[/B] which you can easily change just by reinstalling a web browser. Also, what is the point of Edge's tracking protection when you'll install the ad blocker that does the same, even better? Even if there was an option to turn that off, it might not work. Just remember what happened before; Microsoft gave us an option to disable sending of activity history that wasn't working. I think there are still some privacy options in Windows 10 that do nothing, placebo effect. [/QUOTE]
