Wow, thanks for answering! More recent than I expected!

Sure. If you want to read more, search for ["Jim Pierson" Microsoft "page load time"]. A lot of his work informed what we did at MSN.

I wish there was a simple one-button toggle to turn it off completely, but there's not.

try hosting your own dnscrypt-proxy in combination with https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists . That will turn off most trackers on your entire network.

Some MS apps will explode if they can't send telemetry. I tried it with MS Teams and it just kept bloating memory until it had to be killed. A mitmproxy config worked there to fake a 200 response to the telemetry endpoint and keep memory down.
