“I don’t EVER log onto my “Microsoft Account” or my “Google Account” because I don’t want them to spy on me and then start receiving spam ads everytime I go online based on where I’ve surfed.”

Sign in, and when you sign out clear your history and restart your browser, if you’re on a PC-type device. MS/Google is gone and they can’t track you.
You’ll still get ads on pages based on your location, though. Unless you use a proxy.

Having a Google account annoyed me the most as it related to my Android cell phone. Having Google constantly stalking me totally pissed me off. Dumped Android. I was forced to set up a G-mail account to use the Android, but never used it. Still... it was always there.

I know it’s part of my PC experience, but it doesn’t go where I go, and send me weird questions like “Do you want to post the photo of [blank] you just took?”

Google tags your unique machine identifiers. Google adware on pages tags you even if you are not logged in. Use an ad blocker like ghostery or a browser like Brave
