I am probably one of the oldest participants here.
Just to make sure - "funnies" likes this one used to be called
" 10 year old jokes "
and for those who do not read well and just suspect
that met a person in grade school - 10 years old.
So here is couple of my favorite 10 year old jokes:
" How do you catch a tiger ?"
catch two and let one go
" How do you catch a rabbit ?"
put salt on his tail

You find yourself falling out 20 story windows a lot, do you?

No, I find myself saying "so far, so good" a lot.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

This page presents a "Create an archive" button to download all (?) the browsing data Microsoft has on whatever account you use to log into that page.
The .zip file produced (in my case) contains 4 files:
BrowsingHistory.csv
ProductAndServiceUsage.csv
SearchRequetsAndQuery.csv
UserVisitLocations.csv
Clearly this is private information (and I'm sure MS pinky-swears is only accessible to yourself), but it is rather interesting information.
I've seen scripts before that will export similar data from your local browser (reading it out of local files), but the benefit of getting this data from that location is that the local browser only knows about, well, what you've browsed locally. If you browse from multiple devices, a script to extract that data will only show the subset that was browsed from that device. Whereas the web site above is device-agnostic - this is everything collected across the board.
(Unless that data all gets included when you allow your browser to sync settings - I don't know whether that's the case).
Regardless - my question is:
Has anyone ever written a utility to slice and dice that data? I honestly don't have a specific usage scenario, but I'm thinking this could be interesting. It's trivial enough to parse (it's all CSV, and all columns are self-explanatory), but I wonder if anyone's already put something together to present this in interesting ways...?
I'm otherwise tempted to automate the data retrieval, dumping this into a database, and building reports around this...but as mentioned, I don't have a specific usage scenario right now, and frankly I kinda suck at creating compelling reports, Power BI-style.

Not me, I have no Microsoft accounts.
The only use I would have would be "I know I saw something somewhere a while back..."

So, congrats, you're one of the few who has figured out[*] how to set up Windows 10+ without being forced to create/associate with a Microsoft account...
OTOH, I suppose it's entirely possible to create that account, but still explicitly not use it for browsing...or avoid a MS browser altogether...
[*] No need to point me to any resource for doing that, I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

There's more than "a few" who don't; there's countless articles claiming there's essentially "no way" nowadays to avoid creating a Microsoft account when setting up Windows 10/11...
Maybe it would've been more accurate for me to say he's in the minority.
