Have you installed the new Edge? By following these steps you can prevent the sending of data about your use to Microsoft

Have you tried the new Chromium-based Edge yet? Either on macOS or Windows 10 (we're waiting for Windows 7 also have access) the renewed Edge can be downloaded in the Canary version for Mac and Windows and in Dev format for Windows 10 (for macOS unofficially).

The new Edge features a host of improvements over the Edge we've been using so far A browser that can be downloaded and installed in a simple way as we have already seen, although it offers some details during the process that we can know.

An application under development contains improvements that are continually coming. In the Insider Program, users are the key to being able to improve an application thanks to the feedback received and the data collected.

Steps to follow

During installation, the new Edge offers a notice alerting that it will collect data from the use we make, data from that navigation that will be sent to Microsoft. An option that if we don't realize it, we will activate it by default during installation, although it can be reversed by following a few steps.

• Once installed, we _click_ on the three-point menu or hamburger menu in the upper right area.

"
• We enter Settings (Settings)."

"
• Once inside, we access the section on the right Privacy and Services (Privacy and Services)."

"
• Uncheck the option Send crash reports and data about how you use the browser (Send data about how you use the browser). "
"
• Uncheck the option Send info about websites you visit to Microsoft (Send information about the websites you visit to Microsoft). "

By checking these two options what we do is that we stop sending data to Microsoft about the use we make of the browser and the performance issues it may offer.

However, this is a way of proceeding that does not fit with the objective of beta versions, in which it is basic know the performance they offer to polish data.
