    FF in my experience respects settings too. MS straight up ignores or resets them silently, and Google goes full dark patterns and/or creates new settings to nickel and dime you on data

    Facebook no experience, dumped that shit in like 09

      MS straight up ignores or resets them silently

      That was the thing that bothered me the most. Sure I could go through every subsystem individually and make the changes to make the system more private and secure. That would take a while to do manually, or use one of the tools that do this. But, every time anything has an update you can’t trust that it didn’t reset a setting.

      Running the tool after every update is annoying and after a while it just got frustrating to see settings, that I know I’ve disabled (because, the tool does it every time), which are now re-activated thanks to an update.

      It’s just scummy behavior.

        When I installed win10 it straight up ignored every single choice I made in the oobe. It may as well have not existed
