The app automatically installs Bing Visual Search and includes code to decrypt cookies saved in other browsers, Rivera said, and it also brings a “free” geolocation web API to the system.

The developer discovered “many” nasty tricks Microsoft integrated in Bing Wallpapers, which include trying to change the browser’s settings and set Edge as the default system browser. If the default browser isn’t Edge, the app will open the default browser after some time asking to enable the previously installed Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome extension.

        Yes, I get downvoted a lot on Lemmy, yet nobody seems to be able to say why I’m wrong on these issues. Users of Lemmy resort to downvoting when they can’t defend their arguments. It is a fact that humans are more eager to show their disapproval than approval for something, like in restaurant reviews, where the only people who bother to leave a review are those with bad experiences.

        Also, I’d be wary of basing your opinion explicitly off what other people think. You need to formulate your own thoughts if you want to retain some sort of identity.

        Point to a comment where I show support for nazis. Strawman arguments is all you have to defend your points. Once again you fail to formulate an objective argument.

          That is until they kicked everyone out for being “nazis”

          Point to a comment where I show support for nazis.

          You are the one who keep bringing up Nazi’s. You can’t bring it up, have people agree it’s good to remove Nazi’s, and then say “whoa I support the people kicked out, I don’t support nazi’s” after you yourself said they were kicked out for being nazis.

          You’re your own unreliable narrator and it is both hilarious and embarrassing.
