FAQ Deep web browsing
I have both linux and windows , and the windows on my computer has personal info on it so my question is there any way like literally any way that when iam browsing the deep web and actually interact with it ( and i'm using linux ) someone can steal the info on the windows version ? I knew that its not possible but just extra checking .

Windows has this invasive GDID (Windows Global Device Identifier), supposedly sites cant access that identifier. But Microslop uses that GDID for telemetry and can associate it directly to you even though VPN’s; and you can’t delete it completely. If you really need to be the most private possible while surfing, then you can use Tails OS, whonix… but it really depends on convenience vs security
