6 years ago

Hi! Im having this issue since Edge Chromium launched as stable, I've reported it a couple of times without answer.

It would be cool if someone can try to reproduce it as it is very simple and let me know if someone else can see it.

Details and steps to reproduce: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/msedge_search-msedge_win10/privacy-issue-with-browser-bar-autocompletions-not/da065a06-18c5-4f71-88d1-5b408769b47a?tm=1583432199944

Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure Edge to delete all data on exit 2. Search something specific as "SecretExample968123" on address bar 3. Stop and start Edge, type "SecretExample96" and the autocomplete appears 4. This persists on system restarts

If you are a Microsoft employee please escalate this issue if you can reproduce it.
