I don't really care about that as long as it doesn't interfere with my daily use; that's what I really dislike whenever MS adds something to Edge, it adds cruft to the UI, and also why I get the complaints about ads in the Start Menu (I'm not in the USA, never had ads in the Start Menu ever). That shit would be so infuirating.

I care very much. I'm sick and tired of being bombarded with ads and it's especially concerning when ads about things I only thought about appear coincidentally. In addition, all my information and photos and videos are now used to train AI and I have no idea how my information is used or stored.

Then you have cases like in the US where women are being arrested because the police are using chat records and other stored data on company servers to find out who is seeking abortion services. Or in other places where just criticizing the government ends up with you being arrested.

And this is becoming increasingly common, even in relatively free countries.

Naw man, I'll be switching to Linux.
