I don't know about Windows, but it's available on pretty much any Linux distribution. I don't know if that's an option for you, but if you're worried about Google, you should probably be worried about Microsoft too.

I halfway agree with you but one company sells you and the other sells you products. Microsoft and to some extent Apple are not the best companies at times but they are not in the same category as Ad companies (Google/FB).

"but one company sells you and the other sells you products"

Those activities aren't mutually exclusive, especially when first one can help the second (example: Win10 telemetry).
