And without your knowledge, it copies all data from your actual browser.

Yeah, Edge has been forbidden to execute in my antivirus (ESET HIPS) for a long time now.

Shit I should do that too, I already reported it (ACCC), I don't think a second time is worth it.

Yep, I accidentally opened a news article when the news panel slid out without my knowledge, then I realised all my tabs, bookmarks, passwords, everything, was imported from chrome to edge. No consent, no nothing, it wasn't even the first time I opened edge, it was just that this time it involved my data. Safe to say I reported it to the ACCC (Australian competition and consumer commission) and did as much as I could to erase my data from edge and stop edge from opening as easily.
