I simply HATE these new computer operating systems!!!!!!
I run Linux Operating System on my laptops, no automatic updating.
Nothing happens on the computer unless I give it permission to do so.
Then using the Firefox web browser that comes with the Linux installation you can go in and adjust your security settings.
I have my security settings set to not take in any 3rd party cookies, and clear history when I close out.
Also I go in and shut off any auto complete and and search suggestions.
Windows operating system are constantly looking inside your computers 24/7, not so with Linux it's physically impossible.
