Is using Microsoft Edge Webview 2 Runtime safe at all?
Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:34 am
Just got an update, and during that the Microsoft Edge Webview 2 Runtime was automatically downloaded and installed. I am using Viscosity to hide from Big Tech's, and remembering the attitude of Micro$oft from the past I'm somewhat concerened that M$ keep a kind of key to enter through a backdoor, or give that key to someone I definitively do not trust at all.
What does the Microsoft Edge Webview 2 Runtime really do, and will Viscosity still be functional if I uninstall it seperately? I'm runnnig the Win10 64bit OS and wanna keep it that way way past 2025 which is the end of Win10 support.
Looking forward to an answer.
Cheers
