Tech giant Microsoft is testing a built-in VPN feature for Edge Canary that allows users to securely connect to public Wi-Fi networks.
Microsoft Edge Secure network is now available for select users of Edge Canary. It protects people’s data by masking a device’s IP address, encrypting user data, and routing web connections through a secured network, reports Windows Central.
Microsoft Edge Secure Network was already available for some Edge Canary users, but Microsoft officially announced the feature on May 12.
The tool, which is powered by Cloudflare, makes it more difficult for internet service providers (ISPs) to collect browsing data. It also prevents advertisers from using your information to show targeted ads.
The report said that Microsoft will give users 1GB of free data each month, at least while the feature is in preview. It is unclear if Microsoft will remove this free allotment in the future.
