This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    we just can’t avoid it anymore

    Speak for yourself. Besides, all-or-nothing privacy is a false dichotomy. Giving out less personal data is still better than giving out everything, and you don’t need 100% privacy to be unprofitable to advertisers.

      You misread. It IS unavoidable nowadays or most of the surface-web is non-functional if you block anything that isn’t content. Besides the amount of work it takes to just not be tracked rises and rises.

      Doesn’t mean I don’t do whatever i can do avoid it. To every techy it should be more than obvious that there is no binary approach. You can only do more or less to avoid more or less but never eliminate it.

      So yeah, the less the better. And one might even partially reach a state where one is unprofitable to advertisers. Yet that can change tomorrow or on the next site or when you use some phone-app or or or…

      That’s what i meant with “unavoidable”. You can’t avoid a persistent ever-evolving problem.

        Idk what you’re talking about. I have a pi hole and use uBlock and I rarely have any issues. And, when I do, it’s not even a site that I really care about anyway.
