Microsoft Edge privacy

[hazelnut]

Microsoft have published a very detailed account of what data is collected by the new Edge browser, why it is collected and how to turn it off.

another question is this case...

 

ie11 is at the end - not good functionality - especially for the further steps of internet.

is ms edge (new one) available for windows 8.1?

shoult i (normal user of w8.1) install this as a replacement for ie11? or perhaps bring microsoft this as an optional update/upgrade?

Click the down arrow where it says Download, and you can choose your operating system.

I like the new Edge. It is fast and you can use any Chrome add-ons with it.

thanks :-)

i must wait for the download to the end of this month because i have a slow connection (datavolume is down) only 5-8 kb/s :-)

but after this i will download and use it :-)

Let us know how it works out for you.

i have installed it as replacement for ie11 on older w7 32 bit -> nice and fast :-)

on w8.1 64 bit -> similar as srw iron portable (chromium)

 

now im waiting where the updates come from for both :-) windows update or enhanced microsoft update (for other microsoft produkts) or browser itself

My new Edge updates itself. Or you can check manually.

bad choice for me with databased surfstick. i have disabled the two update-services of edge with ccleaner because i cant find an option to deactivate the auto-update-function
