Edge internet access

[zhouliuhuo]

I've noticed my browser is frequently making background requests to URLs like:
https://devtools.azureedge.net/serve_file/@31962ca1eff05d519ed4b5cffe576650f1175cc7/

Questions:

1. Why is this happening?
2. How can I disable these requests?

I've seen similar issues reported, but the solutions don't seem to apply to the Chinese version of Microsoft Edge. I can't find the corresponding settings mentioned in those solutions.

Pinging @robpaveza for an answer on this.

DevTools implements a couple of tools as "remote modules", including Network Console and Webhint. For Network Console, this can be disabled in the Experiments tab of DevTools Settings. WebHint is a bit tougher because there are several places in which it's integrated.

That having been said, we're working on a series of features that will relieve us from having these as remote modules. Our aim is to ship these in 2025. At that point, there will no longer be any remote web accesses.
