this started happening a little while back- I use Edge for a few things since I have firefox set so secure- and a few site just do not work well with it- to enter forms.
I never use Edge for Amazon, or other stores, for shopping. So.... when I noticed that Edge was suddenly showing me ads on my front page there for things I have ONLY SEARCHING FOR IN FIREFOX.... it amazes me.
Edge IS harvesting anything I do now! Okay yes I CAN and should just get it out of my computer- but isn't firefox aware of this? Can you guys do anything to secure us?

Re: Edge harvests info from firefox!!
Simple explanation - coincidence .
At least, you're still on Win7. No telling what Win10/11 are gathering/selling.
Wait, you've got Edge on Win7?
Not sure, but I thought, while MS did offer that very early on, they have long since supporting (updating) it on 7 ?
Oh, We will continue to support Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 R2 until January 15, 2023.
