Blocking events.data.microsoft.com may break something, so it shouldn't be blocked. Related - https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/165982#issuecomment-1806836201 and https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/182197#issuecomment-2191161203

@AdamWr Got it. Then what about blocking only browser.events.data.microsoft.com and watson.events.data.microsoft.com? I see the these both often.

We had a rule to block browser.events.data.microsoft.com, but it has been removed - https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/commit/bd26dfe55877d9b97afe3dccb20a70d9d9aec6d5, probably caused incorrect blocking. I'm not sure if watson.events.data.microsoft.com should be blocked. I prefer to not block a request if there is no evidence that it's used only for ad/tracking purpose.
