Have upgraded to Windows 10, the services of Microsoft Edge have been quite pleasant. But I need to know is it the right time to say goodbye to Chrome?
chrome spys on you
Depends on what people mean by privacy. There's "walking down the street" and then there's "walking down the street with your name, address, and phone number printed on the back of your T-shirt along with a list of every shop you've visited during the past 6 months."Privacy on the internet is not and will never be a thing any more than it is when you walk down a public street.

If you have to ask, Edge.
Would you post that info in your next post?Your name, address, and phone number are all publicly available information in the first place. As for the rest, like everywhere you shop isn't selling all that information to third parties anyway? And if you have a credit card, forget it. I don't remember the last time I bought something and they didn't ask me for my phone number or my zip code or some other inane piece of personal demographic information that has nothing to do with them selling me a shirt. No internet browser required.
It's just a fact of modern society, our information is a valuable product in and of itself. If you *truly* care that much if they know who's underwear you're buying, the only solution is to go live in the mountains and sew your own. What web browser you choose or operating system you run is irrelevant, your information is out there.
My wife recently bought, from Amazon, some baby stuff 'cuz the grand kids were going to visit. Now, all I get is emails from Amazon about baby stuff. So, I've got to clear my cookies or buy something from Amazon that I'm interested in. Or, even look at some stuff like that; put it in my cart, show an interest. Yes, they've got your number(s).....all the time.
:thumbsup:Would you post that info in your next post?
No? Thats because there's a difference between sharing everything with anyone and sharing stuff you need to with people you select.
At least with a browser with add ons you get a little control over that.
My zip code, they're welcome to, I share that with tens of thousands of other people and it just tells them where a store's customers are coming from and what their (very) general demographic info is (at least in NYC, where pretty wide socio-economic ranges of people live in most zip codes.) If they don't already have it for a specific reason I decided was worth giving it to them for and they ask for my phone number and/or email address, I smile and politely "just say no."I don't remember the last time I bought something and they didn't ask me for my phone number or my zip code or some other inane piece of personal demographic information that has nothing to do with them selling me a shirt.
