  I wonder what part of the browser made Microsoft flag it as malware to begin with

    Modern AV detection is very heuristic based, so it could be almost anything from “this kind of looks like a Trojan we’ve seen before” to “it’s not been downloaded with Edge very much.”

    I’d love to know the real reason too
