Microsoft gets copies of your passwords and other private information you in on a website because it sends it to Microsoft servers to do spell checks.

First thing everyone should do when getting their browser downloaded is making it never remember any passwords, turn off all accessibility options, microphone, camera, location, etc. Then set to auto delete all history on exit every single time. Convenience of remembering passwords just mean it's sitting in storage to get hacked somewhere. It always gets hacked so stop using that feature. Get a big brain and remember your fucking passwords. Turn off auto-complete, you can complete your own sentences. Turn off all AI options where it tries to guess your next move. You want it dumb with no history and some kind of TOR mode where you can browse under a false IP.

spell check is bad, the company ai scans it for bad words.

grammar check is far worse.

"Spellcheck"

This is not new.

Google's keyboard does the same thing, and it has a back up keylogger even if you turn it off.

JFC, why do you feel like you have to fucking lie??? What the honest-to-God fuck is wrong with you?

checked by both Microsoft Editor and the enhanced spellcheck setting within Google Chrome

Microsoft Editor is software, not a website. Chrome is a browser, not. a. fucking. website.

Did you think that people wouldn't RTFA here?
