  Within the browser, it’ll work to “protect” your traffic (including DNS) from prying eyes locally. As in, someone on the same network as you or your ISP or whatever networks your traffic passes through to its destination.

  Instead, it sends it all to Microsoft Central Data Collection™! By passing all your traffic through Microsoft’s central servers, you can rest easy, knowing precisely who is inspecting everything you do (including the US government and the other countries in the Five Eyes network).

  Let’s be honest: It’s yet another unfair transfer of power from local criminals to international ones, increasing the wealth of billionaire pedophiles. Give the locals a chance to rise up, would ya?
