I have a feeling that MS is playing with fire again....

That every request made through the edge browser for a non local user is associated to his/her live ID is pure coincidence ;)

Sometimes when I look into my dns logs, I cry a little bit inside too.

That's the moment you fire up Firefox without prefetch nor studies and enjoy the peaceful DNS logs without the constant telemetry calls to LinkedIn and to all interested 3rd parties, five eyes etc

i thought that too!

but firefox has different dns requests going to their servers as well.

On linux you can use IceCat. On windows, download simplewall and block pingsender.exe there. Should get rid of the queries if you combine it with userjs tweaking.

Even if that works, it'll likely get patched out eventually with a forced update.

If you do insist on using Windows, an external firewall is the only way to be sure. But even that isn't foolproof since another update may decide that your Windows license isn't valid unless the analytics server is reachable.
