Well, YouTube isn't an application is a webpage, install plugins to block tracking there.

Steam is opt-in for metrics, all it does is collects hardware report. Unless I'm missing something?

It still logs rather a lot by default, like which applications you launch and how long you use them for.

Which is fine, all laid out in their privacy policy etc., but it's not clear to me where Anduin's "No telemetry at all!" promise starts and ends.

Maybe "no added telemetry" would be more pedantically-correct.

I don't know, I understood it as "No OS level telemetry or telemetry in first-party apps".

If you're talking about Steam, those are social features that can be disabled if you want to hide the fact you're playing a hentai game (NSFW) https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1ie66ix/nsfw_show_me...

I'd rather OS not fuck with my application settings on its own nor do I want it to install browser plugins for me. I wish I had a dollar for every "ubuntu, but looks like windows".
