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.

There is a German article, that goes in depth on how to disable pretty much all of them and explains what they do: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/mozilla-firefox-datensendeverhalt...

A few of them actually do make sense for a normal user (i.e. the Wifi portal stuff). But you can disable it if you spend some effort on it or you can also use an alternative build of Firefox without it. Not great, but also not terrible imo. Sorry, that I have no English source.
