'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a whitepaper on the privacy of Microsoft's newest Edge-update (as of April 10, 2020)) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Privacy” is built on ancient words that mean "in Front of, |Before (with 'a semantic shift' to meaning |Separate, Individual)."
hmm ... it goes on to state the Military-definition of 'Private (short for "Private Soldier")' as "one Below the |Rank of a Non-Commissioned |Officer."
That brings up 'a whole `nother discussion' about our current (April 2020) President–infamously known as "Private Bonespurs"–and 'the paradox of The Presidency'—an office held by a man who's said to represent The Private Citizens of America (who thus should be a Private Citizen himself), but who's said to be the Commander-in-Chief over all the officers who are 'commissioned.'
... But that's a sidetrack—
I was discussing Microsoft Edge's Privacy-introduction, which goes on to promise:
- Protection—keeping you safe on the web & preventing unauthorized access of your browsing-data.
- Transparency—visibility into how your browsing-data is collected and used (so you only give authorization when you're well-informed).
- Control—the power to choose how your browsing-data can improve your experiences.
- Respect—honoring your choices about browsing-data, only taking the data that's needed to improve your experience
- how Edge detects- and lets you choose whether to block-Trackers
- the option to keep your browsing & searching (history, temporary internet files, cookies)-not saved on your device & -not connected to your Microsoft-account
- wait a minute ... they call that "InPrivate," but how is the function different from other browsers' "incognito"?
- a built-in program called Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, protecting you against phishing- and malware-sites
