f I could see into the future and predict everything, would that stop you from having free will, even if I don't know you and never tell you anything about my predictions?

Suppose you wrote it down before I did it. Then you showed me afterwards. Everything I did supposedly by my own choice was on the sheet. To what extent did I have a free choice?

Your concept of time is the problem, not the notion of free will.

I don't see how it's not your free choice. Does someone else force you to make a decision? No. Therefore: free choice.
