Edge Insider. Who gets to see the images added by the Feedback App?

Mooly · 10 Apr 2019

The feedback app for Edge has the option to include a screen grab (but no option for any normal user files to be added) and this means that sensitive info could be on view to anyone viewing the reports.

I think that's a serious ommision really. Normally I would airbrush out such details from an image and then attach that edited version. You might for example be wanting to report the way a financial site renders for example, and its a no go to send an image containing personal info.

What do you think?

Those screenshots are only shown to Microsoft employees in Windows, Edge and Insider teams, no one else reading your feedback can see them.

No worries, no problems, no need for a tinfoil hat.

Thanks Kari. I'm just being cautious.

Anyway, after your post yesterday, I tweeted about it to Edge's developer team, and they gave nice reply:
