So without user knowledge, M$-Edge, Micro$oft's replacement for Internet
Explorer, sends images that you view online via the browser back home to
Micro$oft.  Also mentioned is a "bug" that leaked your personal information
to Micro$oft's Bing search engine.

The browser may warn you now that the photo enhancement gimmick involves
sending the photos to M$ but it did not originally, even though it was
sending the data even then.

The site I found the message on, osnews.com, suggested the best fix is to
stop using Edge.  We are forced to use it at work but, as all of my home
machines are *nix machines, it is not used here.  :)
