This isn't sending your packets anywhere but their closest datacenter, not sure I'd trust MS (Or rather, Cloudflare) with your porn rather than your ISP who you're actually paying.

    For porn (in most of the us), the goal is geolocation spoofing to avoid ID requirements, not anonymity.

    That said, I doubt edge achieves even that, since they likely keep their servers in the states. I was more talking about VPNs broadly.
