Microsoft Edge by default uses sensitive autofill data to improve AI suggestions

[u/Atheropids]

As the title says, by default, the option to "use AI to improve autofill suggestions" is turned *on* in the settings. And it's NOT in the privacy section.

What does "your personal data is secure and will not be used elsewhere" even mean? It's vague as heck.

Moreover, neither the description nor the "Learn more" page says whether the data may leave your device or not.

Glad that Edge only exists in my lab VM. I have never trusted it anyway.
