Is Microsoft Bing Search & News safe?
Microsoft Bing Search & News sends Bing MUID cookie and device telemetry to g.ceipmsn.com over HTTP.
The extension reads the Bing MUID cookie and combines it with a generated MachineID, browser and OS details, extension version, language, and install/update status. It sends that telemetry to g.ceipmsn.com during install, updates, and daily background alarm checks using a cleartext HTTP request.
