Another Reason NOT to Use a Microsoft Browser

February 26, 2019

It’s no secret that IE is all but dead. Microsoft is even throwing it under the bus and recommends only use the Edge browser. Not so fast. I’ve said many times, that Facebook is inherently evil. (Look me up on some recorded webinars if you don’t believe me.) Perhaps I should begin announcing that the Microsoft Edge browser is evil too. SC Magazine reported that Edge secretly whitelisted sites that run the Flash Player for Facebook without warning the user. Shocker. Facebook telling the user what data it collects? Now the Edge browser is discovered to have a secret whitelist. So much for transparency and giving users a choice.
