This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    Sure it’s scummy, but it’s definitely not hidden. When you open the settings page Data Collection is a top level option

      It’s hidden in the fact it’s not presented upon first startup, it never mentions it, and it’s at the very bottom of the settings page.

      You have to discover it. And who knows how long you had it enabled before you find it.

        It’s interesting. I always get a pop-up asking about opting in for sending telemetry when installing Firefox. It was never hidden or the option selected for me. I opt out and it stays opted out.
