Microsoft Edge is one of the least private web browsers - even more so than other popular browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox - according to academic researchers. According to the analysis, from Douglas Leith with the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College in Ireland, Edge sends privacy-invasive telemetry to Microsoft's back-end servers - including "Persistent" device identifiers and URLs typed into browsing pages.
The survey reveals that multi-cloud deployments are being driven primarily by a need to maximize availability and reliability for applications, while at the edge IoT is the top use case driving deployments. Multi-cloud deployments are threatened by security and connectivity problems due to differences between cloud providers, as well as operational challenges in managing workloads across several clouds.
Beginning with version 80.0.338.0, Microsoft Edge will include a new feature designed to block downloads that may contain PUAs, preventing those apps from reaching the user's computer. PUA blocking, Microsoft says, requires Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to be enabled.
Microsoft Edge and Yandex are "Much more worrisome" compared to Brave, Chrome, Firefox and Safari, according to a paper on browser privacy published this week. Douglas J Leith, a comp sci professor at Trinity College Dublin, investigated the network activity of six browsers - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Brave, Microsoft Edge and Yandex - using a proxy to capture encrypted traffic.

With the new Chromium version of Microsoft Edge comes new settings that allow you to better control your privacy and security. Microsoft released the new version of Edge on January 15, 2020, for Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 7, so you should already have it by now; if not, browse to Microsoft's website to download the new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium.
Security devices can no longer rely on off-the-shelf CPUs to process security traffic because they are slow, inefficient, and extremely expensive. Security devices need access to the same enhanced performance that is only provided by specialized security processors so things like inspecting encrypted traffic, analyzing raw data, and moving from detection to prevention can happen at the speeds that digital business requires.
