Trying to avoid as much of Win10 intrusiveness as I can...if I stay in private browsing, does it prevent Win10 from "retaining" that info?
Kinda feels like I'm fighting a losing battle, but I'm trying whatever I can to keep my doins' off Big Brother's server. If I stay in private browsing all the time, would it prevent Win10 (did I mention how much I dislike it?) from recording every breath/keystroke/heartbeat of mine? Someone gave me a link to an article with instructions on turning off some things that might help...I don't know if anything will actually work, but it'd be nice :(

hi, first of all i don't think that windows 10 records your every keystroke (unless you have signed up to any of their "insider"/beta programs perhaps). however, firefox private mode would not be able to protect you against that behaviour from third-party applications or your network environment - it will just mean that firefox itself won't put your visited sites into your local history in any form.
