If you care about software being closed source or proprietary you probably aren't running Windows.

Honestly, even as a Linux guy who doesn't use Windows (almost) at all anymore, I trust Microsoft to be generic and corporate in their spying.

They'll spy on users usage habits, and likely backdoor their OS for the feds, but they won't individually exfil your browser cookies and steal money from your bank account.

A random closed-source black-box "privacy" tool though? You have zero guarantees.
