Only if you activate the Recall feature which is well known, far from beeing secret. Apart of this, using the Portmaster app, you can controkk and block any MS telemetries with an simple click.
Windows permits a lot of privacy settings, but naturally it don't say it to the users how to do it. A good handling of Windows need an more advanced user as Linux. Windows only seems easier to handle in the surface.
I understand your point of view and I think that, if you already pay for an service which works for you, than changing to another is only an option and only recommended if you woun't pay anymore for it.
You can still test InviZible Pro apart, without a risk, because it's FOSS, pausing your current service.
This is why I always look for an free, or better OpenSource alternative, before I use an paid one (in over 20 years this I never had needed). The first look for a needed soft or service is always in AlternativeTo.
I know the markdown code, but it don't work for me, nor to upload the image from the menu. Seams that Lemmy don't accept well images hosted by vgy for some reasons, only works occasionally.
it means exactly this, the server hasn't any knowledge about your uploaded files or encrytion key. It's very save, but not really P2P, because of an server in the middle where the files are stored until download. Real P2P is eg, Croc, which transfer files direct from one PC to the other, without any server in the middle, you send an link which pointed direct to the files in your PC. The advantage is that you have anytime full control over the files and with this no limits on filesizes, but maybe a drawback is, that downloads are only possible, when your PC is online, on the other hand, this permits also to interrupt downloads, simply going offline, (it's FOSS)

No, worse is not the amount, but where they are sent these telemetrias. A browser with a lot of features may have also a lot of tech telemetries related to these features to ensure a smooth operation. This is not the same as sending browserdata to third parties, like Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. which has nothing to do with the browserfeatures but with logging and selling userdata. Even worse if you use above an search engine which logs your activity, like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
