As of a few years ago, independent tests of telemetry back to Bing, immutable hardware-derived identification, and add-on security of the Edge store were not good.
I guess I'm not convinced Microsoft is serious enough about monetizing my data and attention the way Google is. I'm assuming (generously, to be fair) that Microsoft mainly wants to optimize their software rather than use the data to maximize the effectiveness of their ad business, which seems hobby-level to me.

Is this in the telemetry data? Not in headers, right? Just curious to learn more
But the zeitgeist I’ve seen in 2024 is that Edge and Chrome collect the data they want, plus the data each other is collecting. Tabs, history, etc. Google appears to be more careful, speculatively because it would be easier to prove anti-trust if Google blocked Microsoft’s collecting.
