It's hilarious how nobody is pointing out the extreme irony of microsoft and google calling anyone elses software spyware. I'd rather have my bank password leaked by some brazillian than my web browser, purchase, location, social connections, interests, and work activities leaked by big tech and stored in perpetuity.

If you were a journalist or activist operating in Rwanda you might have a slightly different view.

These are tools that target individuals, and if you are being targeted by a nation state (some of which don’t have the best human rights record) that’s going to be worse than Microsoft’s storing everything you listed.
