Unfortunately, you are absolutely correct. Like most I have a smartphone (Android), use Chrome (technically chromium but close enough), and have a device or two infected with Windows 10. I do take measures to reduce the outflow of my personal data but with no real practical alternatives in some cases, I can only rely on blending into the background noise and avoiding flagrantly awful and thinly-veiled surveillance devices.
