It's not possible officially, but there are ways to block it.

My understanding is it’s possible to do it temporarily, and it runs through generic wifi so there are two directions it can be done from.  One is you spoof the review bing server and just sort of devnull the telemetry coming out of the machine, or you have something that just auto resets evenything so it’s still temporary, but still always.  Both struck me as a lot of trouble.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I wonder if Microsoft would even go so far as hijacking your DNS to make sure Chrome never even existed, it was only in your dreams.
