Microsoft says it’s investigating reports of an Edge privacy issue.

        Doesn’t seem to matter what search engine you use. Instead, this issue seems to impact people using the latest version of Edge.

        Microsoft’s Edge browser appears to be sending URLs you visit to its Bing API website. Reddit users first spotted the privacy issues with Edge last week, noticing that the latest version of Microsoft Edge sends a request to bingapis.com with the full URL of nearly every page you navigate to. Microsoft tells The Verge it’s investigating the reports.
