    Microsoft Edge

    And I know /c/privacy is going to get an aneurysm, but go into the edge settings and turn on all the “let Microsoft spy on you to keep you safe” settings.

    Microsoft website whitelist? Yes please.

    Block untrusted downloads? Surely.

    Send a copy of an unknown file to Microsoft if it looks suspicious? Don’t mind if I do.

    User Account Control? Maximum paranoia please.

    For old people you want Google/Microsoft/Apple with their fingers so far into the computer that it starts killing off spyware to maintain its advantage.

    Obviously toss in Factory uBlock origin. And pay for ad free on their favorite websites, they changed your diaper for crikes sake.

      This.

      People here give some good advices for privacy focused individuals, but that is not the answer to the question being asked. Those people need stuff that just works and protects them - perhaps at the expense of maximum privacy, but who cares? They don’t (unless the know what they are doing in which case they don’t need the advice).
