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.
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.
Wow. You’d have to be either crazy or ignorant to still want to use Edge.
“Never enhance images for these sites:”
Shares list of sites to never enhance images for with Microsoft
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.
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.
I’ve only seen it on some “insider” builds for Windows 11, so unless it was pushed publicly in the past few days you shouldn’t see it.
This post’s title is misleading anyway. It’s not enabled by default, and only sends URLs of “large images” that don’t require any form of authentication. Considering where I work, I can’t say much more than that. If you knew where I work, you’d trust my word over some other random people on the internet.
