YOU WONT BELIEVE: Microsoft is taking away this edge feature you never should have used if you care about privacy - What They Never Told You

Microsoft Edge on Start menu.

What you need to know

  • It appears that Microsoft will completely remove an Edge feature that allowed you to follow content creators through the browser.
  • Microsoft removed the option to follow creators through the address bar last year, but you were still able to keep track of new content from creators you had already followed.
  • That is no longer the case, as the latest Edge Canary build lacks the "Following" tab altogether.
  • The follow creators feature was mired with privacy concerns, since the feature seemed connected to a bug that would send the details of URLs visited by a person to Bing.
