I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn't evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother's high score. Good memories.

And, the hope is any Data Collection algorithms in it have been replaced by Microsoft. (Maybe with their own, but at least they don’t run an ad network)

Sorry; you’re correct, I shouldn’t have said that.

Still, that ad network generally has far less influence and presence than Google’s, and I don’t think there’s a huge effort to make it grow to their size.
