Privacy:

Provides a balanced approach between privacy and functionality.

Recommended for most users who wish to improve privacy with best-practices without affecting stability.

Includes:

  • Clears non-essential OS and app telemetry data and caches.
  • Keeps essential security services enabled.

Privacy:

Focuses heavily on privacy by disabling some non-critical functions that could leak data.

Recommended for advanced users who prioritize privacy over non-essential functionality.

Includes:
  • Disables optional OS and app services that could leak data.
  • Clears non-essential caches, histories, temporary files while retaining browser bookmarks.
  • Keeps vital security services and critical application functionality.

Considerations:
  • Review each script to make sure you are comfortable with the disabled functionality.
  • Some non-critical applications or features may no longer function as expected.

Privacy:

Strongest privacy by disabling any functionality that may risk data exposure.

Recommended for extreme use cases where no data leak is acceptable like crime labs.

Considerations:

  • Do not run it without having backups and system snapshots, unless you're on a disposable system.

Reverts selected scripts back to their default settings where possible, balancing system functionality with privacy.

Considerations:
