Updates are annoying.

I still have not updated mine either.

Even my pc is still using the install os without any updates. It runs just fine.

That's the issue. Everyone thinks their data is irrelevant, but if that were the case big companies wouldn't by buying those data in bulk for billions.

What you like, what you think, what opinions you have, even what game you play or what movie you enjoy can be used against you to manipulate you. Be it to steer you towards one election candidate, or to sell you shit. It will at some point be used against you without your knowledge. And the worst part is that it all feels insignificant, but it's definitely not.

Privacy is important, even if your data is cringe.

I will argue this already exists online. Especially in the travel industry.

If you are browsing for plane or train tickets you should always do it in private mode because those cookies are going to drive the price up next time you connect.

The next store over knows how much the previous store was charging you so they're gonna practice the same price with a marginal placebo discount. In the end you've lost a significant amount of time swapping stores for a very negligible gain, and you've been robbed either way.
