> Windows is irreducibly spyware with doors consciously built in. Especially the modern versions which basically run commercial keylogger software. No level of security workarounds can prevent it from Et phoning the mothership. You must use linux
>Options for linux include Heads, Tails, qubes + whonix (which is snooden's sugestion), kodachi (I don't trust this dev), kicksecure, all of which should ideally run off a flash drive preferably using RAM
>Intel and AMD chips both have microcomputers in them that can secretly alter the computer. Everything since about 2008 has been pozzed, so you need a chipset & computer built before then
>you must flash libreboot, coreboot, or another security conscious bootloader to prevent their criminal tricks
>you should install openwrt software onto your router
>run everything through a VM to protect the underlying software from penetration
>save your files to offline flash drives which are crypted
>crypt everything by the way
>only decent off the shelf configured browsers are librewolf and the onion. Brave is spyware.
>always enable https and disable history on your browser
>Try to disable js whenever possible despite this being a massive pain.
>You must either use a VPN that's legit (none truly are btw) and pay with crypto or run the onion to browse
>Only slightly non sketchy vpn is mullvad
>you must always run the onion in secure settings and request a bridge
