       Edge sends all images you view to Microsoft servers by default, for "quality optimisation"This sounds like a dev team that has never been told no. Unless I'm out of touch with reality and there are actually consumers with demand for a feature like this.Seems like massive over engineering for a marginally if at all useful feature. But maybe "extra" features like this are one of the few ways for browsers to differentiate these days. Especially if the browser in question is just a flavour of chromium. The other way I've seen browsers differentiate, which I like more, is to add privacy features, but I feel like those ARE actually useful.https://mastodon.social/users/hn_discussions/statuses/110534854164026395
