Firefox's new one‑click AI kill switch — arriving in Firefox 148 on February 24 — is more than a UX convenience; it's a deliberate, public answer to a rising user demand: give me modern AI tools, but let me opt out of them cleanly. Mozilla's new AI Controls centralize per‑feature toggles and a...

The rhetorical blast from a recent opinion headline — that using AI chatbots to follow the news is like “injecting severe poison directly into your brain” — captures a real anxiety, but it also obscures what’s provably wrong, what’s still speculative, and what we must fix now if conversational...

Microsoft’s year‑end gaming spot for Windows 11 briefly became a micro‑scandal when sharp‑eyed viewers spotted Google Chrome pinned to the taskbar — and the story only got stranger when Microsoft quietly replaced the Chrome icon in the same frames with Microsoft apps after the mistake circulated...

A new, deceptively simple attack named “Reprompt” has exposed a critical weakness in Microsoft Copilot Personal: with a single click on a legitimate Copilot deep link an attacker could, under the right conditions, mount a multistage, stealthy data‑exfiltration chain that pulls names, locations...

Microsoft Edge’s recent Stable-channel update finally gives users a supported, one‑click way to remove the persistent Copilot toolbar icon — but that small convenience arrives inside a much larger release that changes Edge’s WebGL behavior, strengthens tenant‑level controls, and adds admin...

Microsoft's third Technical Preview of Azure Stack (TP3) arrives as the last major pre‑GA milestone, bringing a wider slice of Azure's IaaS and PaaS surface to on‑premises environments, a clearer pay‑as‑you‑use model for local consumption, and practical refinements for disconnected and edge...

Because Microsoft Edge (the modern, Chromium‑based Edge) is built from the same upstream Chromium codebase as Google Chrome, Microsoft records Chromium‑origin CVEs in the Security Update Guide to state whether and when an Edge release has ingested the upstream Chromium fix. In other words, the...

Chromium’s CVE-2026-0901 — an “Inappropriate implementation in Blink” — has landed in Microsoft’s Security Update Guide not because Microsoft discovered a new Edge-specific bug, but because Edge consumes the Chromium open‑source engine. Microsoft lists Chrome-assigned CVEs to communicate...
