Everyone did, but Microsoft continues to be terrible. Replace Edge with GitHub or npm or vscode and see what a trap this is.

- npm sends images you view online to GitHub

- vscode bakes a VPN into npm and turns it on

- The dark defaults of npm

- vscode records editing (browsing) history in InPrivate mode

Azure or OpenAI seem even worse. And Windows has a lot of Edge-like things built into it, including how it tries to get users to use Edge.
