Windows10Debloater VS Frontpage

Stuff has been uninstalled from Settings and Control Panel and CTT's Utility (to enable some settings I would've enabled through Terminal commands already) and Sycnex's Debloater (to uninstall some apps) have been used. It's nothing major as I only uninstalled apps I could download from the store if necessary and made sure not to delete any major system components except Edge maybe. I have read through every menu and setting any of these utilities has brought up thoroughly to ensure I didn't do so. I believe I did my research before enabling/disabling a setting.

I've used this script for every new install of Windows and it makes the experience quite a bit better: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater .

17k stars on GitHub so lots of people agree.

if you wanna go even further in getting the most out of your laptop you can use this debloating tool to get rid of the extra stuff Microsoft puts into windows that youll never use.

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Terms of service are generally pretty shitty, yes. But this is egregiously shitty.

https://tosdr.org/ is a good site to compare. Any service over Grade E (Spotify, Facebook, the usual suspects) is (very likely to be) less bad. DeviantArt for example is a D, and doesn't include waiving your moral rights among some of the other overreach.

Some service terms are actually quite good (DuckDuckGo, Mullvad, off the top of my head). Though these aren't content sharing platforms so it's not really as fair of a comparison.

This is super useful https://tosdr.org/

https://tosdr.org is good for that, why don't Mozilla just contribute to an existing project

I can't give you a complete guide here, but I recommend you go to privacy subreddits or watch relevant Youtube videos for more info. I also recommend sites like privacytools.io and privacyguides.org They contain lists of alternatives and tools. Also check out tosdr.org which contains summaries of the TOS of a ton of sites. Also try email aliases like simplelogin or anonaddy. Use burner emails for throwaways if possible emailnator.com or tempail.com . Try to use as many open-source applications as possible. You can even self-host certain things.

I think what you're looking for is TOSDR (Terms of Service, Didn't Read): https://tosdr.org

It's been going for several years and has very thorough analysis of various ToS, done by volunteers who are often legal professionals.
