TL;DR Summary

Microsoft Edge's Collections feature appears to be sending all URLs entered into the address bar to the Bing API, allowing Microsoft to monitor users' online activities. The bug was identified by a Redditor and appears to be related to an opt-out content aggregation feature in Edge. Microsoft is investigating the issue and has advised users to disable the functionality if they are concerned about their privacy. Edge has previously been criticized for its invasive privacy practices, and this bug is the latest in a series of privacy and security issues affecting browsers.
