What Hacker News says
2 sourcesSo I spoke to one of the contributors of Tauri who got back to me with the following response:
"
It's not a thing tauri controls and the telemetry settings are an operating system setting since you are running windows this kind of telemetry is not completely avoidable."
He also kindly pointed to this GH Issue which discusses your privacy concern:
https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/105...
This quote from the issue stood out in particular:
"
WebView2 is considered a Windows component, and the data collection consent is governed by Windows Diagnostic setting on Windows 10 as a centralized switch.
End users are empowered to control the data collection of WebView2 and can do so via toggling the Windows Diagnostic setting on Windows 10. This is also what the Edge browser does. On Windows 7/8.1, because there is no Windows
Read the rest
Diagnostic setting, we treat this as no consent for optional data. There is very limited required data that the OS always collects, unless you're on some specific SKUs. Developers are definitely welcomed to convey that to their end users and ask them to use the OS toggle.
"
I've been meaning to move away from Tauri + WebView2, this might be the best call to make (not only for this reason of course)
