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?

      (Quick edit because I can’t believe I have to say this: If you think people saying other people are allowed to be gay is ‘political’ you seriously, seriously need to reevaluate your beliefs.)

      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.
