There are innumerable plugins to stop this tracking occurring. Google needs to know what their users are clicking on, and by virtue are now in the business of changing their code so frequently as to thwart these privacy tools. It's a game of cat and mouse between the privacy tools and Google. Make sure to download addons/extensions that will update to reflect any changes in Google Search

It might be closed source, but that does not equate to 'bad'. It doesn't contain too many smaller parts it is easy to analyze what the binary is doing. It does attempt to update, but this behavior can be blocked. Binary blobs do not have to be a black box, and it is trivial to open up Antilogger in OllyDBG and see what it is doing under the hood. It might sound like I'm fumbling around in the dark here, and I admit I am; but Antilogger is one of the first ten programs I install on a fresh Windows install.
Regular electronics consumers are not going to buy a Thinkpad with FreeBSD on it, and then house the laptop in a Faraday cage to airgap it. It. Does. Not. Happen.

I'm not defending M$ here at all. I'm just saying if people are going to use WinAll, there are rudimentary and basic things to install before using it. Otherwise it's like sex without a condom...

The older version is blacklisted by the NSA. They don't like people using it. Leaked Snowden documents prove this.

Windows 10 and previous versions are known to be SIGINT enabled either by design, or by accident. It would be very cloak and dagger to say by design, but certainly more plausible to say by accident. There are numerous ways to harden Windows however, and depending on how much time and money you're willing to invest; you can get a pretty robust setup. Personally I use Zemana Antilogger (try to get an older copy - the new one is possibly backdoored). Download this: http://hardenwindows8forsecurity.com/ (Some of the settings still apply on Win10 I think). And buy the new version of Glasswire: https://www.glasswire.com/ (Super handy utility that stops all the phone behavior of Win10 that can get quite intrusive/invasive). There are many other hacks to harden Windows but I won't go into them here. But you can have those ones for free...
Here's Antilogger: https://www.zemana.com/AntiLoggerFree Please avoid the new version, as it's probably weakened by ICs. I'm sure an older copy is lying around the net somewhere.

Yeah the list goes on. Even for the pros, there are an insane amount of steps to get the install perfect. And it has to be perfect, as one overlooked thing can mean the box can be taken offline by net-hooligans. Things like Commando are handy for this and I frequently use recipes when I spin up a new server: https://commando.io/
