How do I make my Profile private?

I've searched every setting I can find. I want my Microsoft Edge Profile to be private so people can't look at every comment I've made on news articles. Nothing I click on brings me to a setting that allows me to set my profile to private. This should be an easily accessible option. I shouldn't have to have to search for it.

    AFAIK there is no such option in microsoft edge. Even for enterprise. I tried to ask such question earlier and get the answer, that everything is designed like every unique person in system must have its own windows account. So, multiple profiles in one account means multiple profiles owned bvy one person, and there's no need to hide something from yourself.

    Hello

    Im Juliet and Ill try my best to help you :)

    To make your Microsoft Edge profile more private and prevent others from accessing your browsing history and comments on news articles, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Microsoft Edge on your computer.
    2. Click on the menu icon (three horizontal dots) located in the top-right corner of the browser window.
    3. From the dropdown menu, select "Settings."
    4. In the Settings menu, click on "Privacy, search, and services" from the left-hand sidebar.
    5. Scroll down to the "Services" section and click on "Address bar."
    6. Under "Address bar," locate the option called "Suggest and fill," and make sure it is turned off. This will prevent Edge from suggesting information from your browsing history when filling out forms.
    7. Go back to the "Privacy, search, and services" section.
    8. Under the "Privacy" subsection, ensure that the "Send Do Not Track requests" option is enabled.
    9. Next, under the "Services" subsection, click on "Clear browsing data."
    10. In the new window that appears, make sure the "Browsing history" option is selected, and then click on the "Clear" button.

    These steps will help protect your privacy by preventing Edge from suggesting your browsing history and by clearing your browsing data regularly.

    However, please note that these settings primarily address your local browsing data and suggestions. When it comes to comments you've made on news articles, the privacy settings for those would typically be determined by the specific website or platform where you made the comments. Microsoft Edge does not have control over the privacy settings of external websites or platforms.

    I hope this helps :) Have a nice day ahead of you :)
