Microsoft bakes a VPN into Edge and turns it on
Why do I always get a bad feeling about the motivations behind stuff like this? I want to believe it's for better privacy and security, but it's being driven by a corporation or two, and that makes me 100% suspicious. Like, for example, suddenly Edge is no longer respecting local DNS options and my pihole protects one fewer device from the real dangers to privacy. I don't want to be cynical so often, but this really doesn't feel like a benevolent move. Yeah, it's conditional at the moment, but as with Chrome and manifest v3, among many other examples, I'm losing my faith that anything with the potential to increase ad revenue will remain turned off for long.
