Comment on Edge 118: updated on-page search may send data to Microsoft
DeadlineX@lemm.ee 1 year agoPeople with different skills than you are not stupid. It takes a lot of time, energy, and effort to learn this kind of thing if you’re not interested in it.
We should be kind to others, and not assume superiority because we have skills or knowledge in one area they do not.

Using a privacy-friendly browser takes no more than”skill” than using Edge.

Well sure, that’s true. How do you know that edge isn’t privacy friendly? What about the carpenter who just wants to use their computer to pay bills and google stuff? What about the old folks who don’t know how to install something? What about the people who just don’t enjoy using a computer and haven’t had the opportunity to learn about it?
They’re no more stupid than you would be if you were using a cooking utensil the wrong way because you never learned the appropriate way to use it. Or if you use the space below your oven as storage for pans and cookie sheets instead of correctly using it as a broiler. Or maybe you have one that actually is storage. I wouldn’t know, because I cook simple meals and I’m fine with that. It doesn’t make me stupid. Nobody can know everything.

It does, if you need to use the online Microsoft Services. Because In Firefox it sometimes is just not working for me. And I don’t want to spend the time to figured out what the problem light be.
