When visiting a friend last weekend, I mentioned as a side remark that lots of people never gave a thought to the name 'Edge' - similar to the old days when lots of people using the Lynx browser never associated it with anything but a big, wild cat. My friend knows a lot of math, including a fair amount of graph theory. Yet, he gave me a puzzled look: What do you mean? Is that name supposed to mean anything special?
Well ... Yes. Like Lynx. And the little Ford Ka (that's some years ago, isn't it?). And the arrow below the Amazon text in the logo. One common brand of Californian raisins imported to Norway had the brand name 'Sun Maid' (with a picture of a young woman carrying a basket of grapes) - my mother never ever would accept the idea that 'Sun Maid' was a play of 'Sun made', ripened in the sun. Marketing folks come up with lots of bright ideas in this class, and 99% of the audience ignores/overlooks it. I am sure that they are prepared for that  .
I guess that a fair share of the Lounge audience has had their share of graph theory. So let me ask: Have you ever been considering the name 'Edge' as related to hypertext graphs? Or are you considering it to be just a random name picked out of the blue?
(If you care to indicated whether you feel familiar with graph theory, that would be an interesting additional piece of information!)

In my part of the world*, a dissected plateau, there are many clifftop lookouts and walking trails.
There is a lot of signage encouraging people to keep away from the edge, which I consider excellent advice.
* The coincidence between my postcode and an ancient IBM RJE device/protocol I find amusing.

So, these days I have a few medical issues I'm working on... I try to login to my doctor's portal, and it's unable to handle Opera. Oh really? 40 years after all this got started, and you won't handle opera? Get it to come up in Edge - finally - and the f'ing icon is using my login information. I think not.
Off to vpn for me.
You're not paranoid if they really are listening and harvesting your data. I'm sure FISA will keep me safe.

Absolutely, they have only your interest and safety in mind.

Assuming it's not just a cache issue from a previous visit...
One of the things Microsoft always did with IE and now Edge was integrate it with Active Directory. You ever notice on some internal sites at work you don't have to login when using Edge but you do in other browsers? That's on purpose. That's usually through AD though, so just guessing even if it's a un-authenticated or non-domain login that peeps can still query enough data to get some account info in Edge regardless.
It's supposed to be a "feature", but it's always been there in some form.

IMO Firefox and Brave are the only browsers that even remotely pretend to care about your privacy. I say this as a dude who uses Chrome.

I have seen things like that in real life... and it is not funny.
Or seeing how water is coming out from a plug socket at the wall (one hotel room I had a couple of years ago ).

I remember a hotel in Bangladesh where you felt a certain tingling sensation when taking a shower.
No, not what you maybe think... it came from the electric water heater and one recognized the open wiring
