Future edge patch note:

  • Fixed bug where sometimes edge would send pages to MS cloud despite local search only being enabled

Haha j/k, there won't be a patch note, and the fix will probably be a heuristic to determine if the user isn't a security expert analyzing their traffic to determine if it's sending more than it should be, with it defaulting to off until that heuristic reports a hit.
