I use Firefox Nightly and very rarely Chrome, and I have no internet
related registry keys that refer to cygwin. These browsers may save
similar information, but it is not in the registry.
I suspect that the keys you see are related to using Internet Explorer
and/or Edge. This re-enforces my choice to use Firefox.
