Easy fix: use Firefox or ungoogled Chromium instead of Edge.

    I shouldn't have to be a lucky mf that stumbles upon an article by coincidence that explains how to configure his web browser to not send pictures I look at across the atlantic ocean without my knowledge. WTF is going on.

    If you think Edge is a bust, I got news for you: if you are using Windows, pretty much everything spies on you now days. :)

    To anyone who used Linux once upon a time and got scared off - try it again. Nowadays so much works without any config, driver support is so much better and, at least with my last year using Fedora, it's incredibly stable.

    And if you get stuck, ChatGPT is so good at helping you through the experience. Also, IMO, once you spend a week or so to get used to Gnome desktop environment it's better than both windows and macos.
