I'm surprised that someone who professes concern for privacy uses uses
microsoft copilot. Or do you just have issues with Google and Privacy?

If so, I'd love to learn from you, as I do care about privacy.

Copilot is a microsoft app that shares whatever you do with microsoft.
Is there anything else to be said.

Which search engine would you use? I use DuckDuckGo for a bit of extra
protection. So yes there is an appreciable difference.

I'm interested - you seem to use Microsoft if your using copilot. Have
you gone to the same efforts to de-microsoft windows by finding
alternative apps to the Microsoft ones?
