Also, Microsoft should really have azure ad connect run as a managed service account so the password is entirely managed by AD and the account cant be used outside of the computer and/or service its assigned to.

they added GMSA support for AADC back in april however it's only available for fresh installs (ofc it's trivial to stand up a new AADC instance in standby mode and then switch over): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/az...reated-accounts

Chrome Sync browser history used to be excluded from this, they announced the reversal of this policy fairly recently and then proceeded to make the explanation on https://privacy.google.com (which isn't actually their privacy policy) and the configuration preferences controlling this on https://accounts.google.com as misleading as possible.

okay but i still dont find it surprising. dont login to google if you dont want to be explicitly tracked. good luck not being tracked in general though.

not saying this is a good thing, so you know. just that its been how google operates since they became an ad network.

IE and Edge are just browsers.

chome is spyware but its never claimed to be anything else.

those are all installed by the user and not security holes. its not surprising that failfox and chome defenders don't understand it though. their browsers come with the spyware pre-installed where IE users had to seek it out.

very often this garbage was installed by the user in the sense that your average person didn't scroll to the bottom of the popup dialog (which often opened itself via a security hole) and did the specific steps required to prevent their "free browser enhancements" from being installed

Xupiter was one of the classic ones, and automatic for people with low security settings (as routinely pushed by various sites). https://www.wired.com/2003/01/sneaky-toolbar-hijacks-browsers/

I can’t find a reference on my phone for toolbar installation, but the shortcut parsing bug was used by a lot of malware to install in IE6. Malware would then collect the installation bounties for a dozen bullshit toolbars. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2519452/security0/microsoft-warns-of-windows-shortcut-drive-by-attacks.html
