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.

    The community of inclusion once again unable to express their thoughts without insulting people.

    Funny how calling someone a jackass is “insulting” to you, but you treat bigotry like fair game.

      “Jackass” is indeed an insult, no need to put it between quotations. And here you accuse me of treating bigotry like fair game without proof. The truth is here Godot messed up and you aren’t willing to see that because it would expose you as a hypocrite. Remember Godot apologized for the incident, yet here you are defending it.
