Features like this one (Save Time and Money) should be opt-in. I've never used Edge so I don't really know its inner workings...
So, the browser should ask on first start (or after an update adds a feature) if you wish to use it.
As companies do, the dialog should have a button to select preferred defaults (sadly, most users will just click that) and a list of options like the cookie dialogs for advanced users with everything disabled.
Still, there are better alternatives out there like Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, Brave, etc.
Each alternative is not without it's own faults. Brave continuously tries to prompt and default peddle the same kind of things as being denounced here and Vivaldi is all kinds of slow and memory heavy due to the way the custom browser experience is implemented. Ungoogled Chromium is probably the best option for someone that puts this kind of stuff first but for the average user it is a nightmare out of the box (clears 1st party cookies on close, doesn't handle drm content out of the box, doesn't have a sync, requires manual extension install, has default settings that will break many sites in the name of privacy). Again good things for that crowd just not for most people.
Even Firefox is pushing stuff like pocket by default and that's an open source non profit browser from the old times!
