    None of the articles I’ve read about this explains how the GDID gets mapped onto the user’s activity.

    “Windows device carrying GDID g:6755467234350028 had visited the ngrok signup page”

    So does it mean that Windows monitors your activity outwith just Microsoft services and sends all data to their servers? Is it maybe MS Edge history sync?
