https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity has existed long before this was a thing.

Also where do you think Siri and Cortana get their information from? There's nothing "dark" going on. It's just "Hey, you should sign in to your account so your stuff is saved if you want to pick it up elsewhere or use Assistant to help you later". Are there privacy concerns? Sure. But then you shouldn't use Assistant, Cortana, Siri or even iOS, Android, or Windows.

This is starting to become an age-old debate at this point...

I mean, I don't use the Assistant for anything other than quickly setting timers, and don't do anything on my Windows and Android machines I wouldn't be comfortable with everyone and their mother knowing about anyway. The main reason I have a Mint dual-boot is for anything sensitive I don't want the corporate all-seeing eye to see... or any malware on them.

Only reason I stopped using SRWare Iron on my desktop is because it display a pink cast for some reason now, while Chrome doesn't.

Nano Defender might work as a compliment. I'm not entirely sure since AdNauseam doesn't allow access to the "I'm An Advanced User" part of the uBlock settings to properly integrate it with ND, though.
