The app automatically installs Bing Visual Search and includes code to decrypt cookies saved in other browsers, Rivera said, and it also brings a “free” geolocation web API to the system.

The developer discovered “many” nasty tricks Microsoft integrated in Bing Wallpapers, which include trying to change the browser’s settings and set Edge as the default system browser. If the default browser isn’t Edge, the app will open the default browser after some time asking to enable the previously installed Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome extension.

    They’re a game engine, not ABDL or whatever. Why would anyone listen to game engine devs on political matters?

      I don’t know, why are you whiny babies talking about it? Look at the topic of this fucking post. It’s about a Microsoft app that’s malware.

      Yet… what’s this? The people whining about people being helped brought it up, unwarranted, and inserted into discussion. So my answer is to ask your self.

        You’re allowed to state your beliefs, and gay people are allowed to exist. When it comes to a project, it’s best to stay on topic.

          They aren’t, allllll across the world.

          You’re allowed to state your beliefs… When it comes to a project, it’s best to stay on topic.

          Which? You can’t say both these things. Why do you get to determine these things? How is ‘LGBT people (many of whom form our audience and devs) should be allowed to exist’ an ‘off topic’ statement?

            There’s a difference between a rule and advice.

            And the topic is the godot engine. Every other topic is off-topic.

            Glad I could explain basic English to you.

              The topic of what? This post? 'Cause it isn’t. Advice for what? From whom? For someone explaining “basic English” you’re sure struggling with subject-verb-object.

        Kaboom is a regular poster on the conservative community on Lemmy and also an actual fascist. Is it really at all surprising they’re complaining about it?
