Ask HN: Why is Edge Dev browser contacting api.msn.com?

3 pointsby tangwwweialmost 2 years ago
i&#x27;m using the Edge Dev browser on windows and i&#x27;ve noticed that whenever i open a new tab and type something into the address bar and press enter, the first thing i will see is &quot;Waiting for api.msn.com...&quot;. this still happens irregardless of the default search engine i use, i have switched between ddg, bing and you.com and the same behaviour is also observed.<p>i just learnt to use wireshark to capture network traffic and tried several ways to filter for api.msn.com and its related dns address and domain name (a-0003.a-msedge.net [204.79.197.203]) and i could not find anything. i also tried filtering for the ports which Edge contacted during the time frame when it was loading the page. maybe im not using the filtering options in wireshark correctly?<p>maybe someone has a good idea about why there is this behaviour going on? i could not find any mention of this skimming through search results
