I have the feeling that those files become more informative over time, therefore if you delete them regularly, they may still exist, but carry a lot less information.

We’ve given these tech giants too much power and control with zero oversight and accountability.
I’m trying content blockers for now (AdGuard with most lists, and Focus for Foxpro). I’ve also blocked cloudfront.net.
The comparison with political parties is too easy to make so I won’t make it.
Let’s be honest, politicians went after microsoft because microsoft declined to get financially involved in politics back then.
Actually it was a lot deeper and more complicated than that. And a big part of it was that in all truth they were a monopoly engaged in numerous practices that are illegal for monopolies and even some that are of questionable legality for non monopolies (per processor licensing, where manufactures pay MS a license fee for every box they ship whether or not Windows is on it).
> I hate Google, but I hate Apple, too.
The only thing I hate about Apple is their voice recognition software. Since it’s not on the cloud it’s as dumb as a box of Democrats.

“it’s as dumb as a box of Democrats.” LOL!
I completely understand
We give it up every Sabbath.

We just have duckduck’s word that they aren’t tracking us, too.
Yeah, but I trust Duck-Duck for more than google, Bing, Yahoo.
On thing I know, when you use Duck-Duck-Go you don’t get many pop-up ads, or scam emails.
If Google were to disappear - the ‘net would collapse. Sad
We tend to depend and wear virtual depends because technically we like to be mothered versus just reminded of specific tasks . Unless we ween ourselves off the tech sugar tit we will always be weak and vulnerable in this aspect of our lives.
OPSEC / PERSEC is possible .....
VPN’s , email that use a AES 256 encryption, Tails OS on laptops that are subject to theft or inspections through secure checkpoints . Signal text messenger is good. Duck Duck Go is my new search engine. Ghostery is another product you may consider. Stacked VPN’s , WiFi Spoof that changes your MAC address at random times . Simore that allows use on one phone of up to 4 providers with different providers numbers , ATT, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile for CONUS use or international providers if your traveling. Skype Medical account that meets HIPPA privacy requirements.
Many many things can be done to hamper and confuse but never put on a gadget what you don’t want to share with the world. Be it the big 5 or not.
My opinion only...
Skynet is aware.
I’m going to give up picking your navel, too.
Especially with Ahnold’s accent.
