Baby, I swear it's déjà vu: TalkTalk customers unable to opt out of ISP's ad-jacking DNS – just like six years ago

No one has mentioned that some browsers and Windows file explorer do the same, type either an invalid url or a non existent folder path and a Bing search is launched. Thus revealing your url or private folder names to Bing. And making a small typo correction impossible. Of course you can configure to prevent this but I don't recall being offered the option of opting in or out of this during Windows setup.
