[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 703827, member: 55987"] You can have great security and anonymity but privacy is the most difficult to achieve. Yes, you can reduce the amount of your personal data being taken by MS/Google. With Google it's easier. As long as you don't use Google services and hardware you are out of its ecosystem. For MS it's a bit difficult since it involves the OS. You can don't use its hardware and other services like MS Office, outlook mail, Skype, One Drive, Surface devices etc and strictly only the OS. You can substitute MS OS using Linux OS but you must prepare to work on limited software availability and compatibility with MS software/services in the working environment. If you insist on using MS OS then you can download some version on the net whereby many of its telemetry services have been removed. Or have MS OS on a dedicated PC and disconneted from the net. Also, you can use some 3rd-party software (like O&O Shut Up 10) to disable some of MS OS telemetries [/QUOTE]
