So Microsoft is great based on some secret data that we have no access to. Which microsoft collects from my computer without my knowledge. And it is all collected by their opaque closed source os. But hey they may be right. Nothing stops them from adding code in windows 10 that intentionally wastes power whenever the user is running chrome.

The more i read this the more pissed off i feel about using windows 10. Unfortunately, they made it very hard to install another OS on new laptops.

You can intercept this data with a proxy and your own root SSL cert if you want. MS doesn't do certificate pinning unlike some people in this space.
