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

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I'd happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.

However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it's really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.
