Edge leak

Question

Webroot Security scan has shown a leak in my Edge program.  This worries me because I prefer Edge over chrome, but if it is going to leak my information, that is a big problem for me.  I work from home, and need to know I can use microsoft products safely.  I have an HP with 10.  How can this be fixed?  Or can it?

Hey LerleneRoever

Can you please specify what leak is shown in your SecurityScan regarding Edge?

The scanning software will specify what is causing the leak as well.

Can you insert a screenshot of that so I can help you better?

Well, to be honest, Edge is far better than chrome, because you can enable privacy to it's max level in the settings. In the "Privacy, search and services" section of the settings, you can choose basic, balanced or strict tracking prevention to prevent websites from using trackers. It also has built in adblockers to prevent ads from slowing down your site loading, and increasing security. it is far better, compared to chrome.

But if you still have concerns, please attach the screenshot of the security scan where it says there's a leak from edge. I'll try my best to help.

Hope this helps
