This commit updates the application startup behavior to prevent showing
a blank window until it's fully loaded on all platforms. This enhancement
improves the user experience by ensuring the UI only becomes visible
when it is ready to interact with.
This fix contributes to a smoother user experience by aligning the
window display timing with content readiness, thus avoiding the brief
display of an empty screen.
Changes:
- Set window to initially hide until fully loaded using the
`ready-to-show` event.
- Show the window, focus on it and bring it front once it is loaded.
Windows requires additional logic to put Window to front, see
electron/electron#2867.
- Parametrize the behavior of opening developer tools for easier
configuration during testing.
This commit modifies the blocking behavior of `r.bing.com` due to its
extensive use across multiple Windows features, including Copilot and
Maps. Previously, included in the 'Cortana and Live Tiles' block list,
this host was causing issues for Copilot functionalites, as noted in
issue #329. By excluding `r.bing.com` from block list, this update aims
to prevent unintended disruptions without compromising the privacy gains
of other scripts.
Changes include:
- Exclude `r.bing.com` from the "Cortana and Live Tiles" block list.
- Improve documentation to clarify the role and exclusions.
- Improve documentation with consistent header for blocked hosts.

This commit improves the management of script execution process by
enhancing the way terminal commands are handled, paving the way for
easier future modifications and providing clearer feedback to users when
scripts are cancelled.
Previously, the UI displayed a generic error message which could lead to
confusion if the user intentionally cancelled the script execution. Now,
a specific error dialog will appear, improving the user experience by
accurately reflecting the action taken by the user.
This change affects code execution on Linux where closing GNOME terminal
returns exit code `137` which is then treated by script cancellation by
privacy.sexy to show the accurate error dialog. It does not affect macOS
and Windows as curret commands result in success (`0`) exit code on
cancellation.
Additionally, this update encapsulates OS-specific logic into dedicated
classes, promoting better separation of concerns and increasing the
modularity of the codebase. This makes it simpler to maintain and extend
the application.
Key changes:
- Display a specific error message for script cancellations.
- Refactor command execution into dedicated classes.
- Improve file permission setting flexibility and avoid setting file
permissions on Windows as it's not required to execute files.
- Introduce more granular error types for script execution.
- Increase logging for shell commands to aid in debugging.

This commit introduces a new GitHub Actions job within the quality
checks workflow that scans the latest commit for TODO comments. The
intention is to prevent such comments from being merged into the main
branch, promoting cleaner and more maintainable code.
The script uses a specific pattern to avoid IDE detection and
misclassification of the script line as a TODO item itself. If any TODO
comments are found, the script exists with a non-zero status,
indicating an issue that must be addressed before proceeding.

mitigation of these issues.
This reverts 7f7a84e3ba.
- Incorporate feedback from an official Microsoft statement
(MicrosoftDocs/intellicode#510), acknowledging the discontinuation of
certain IntelliCode backend services. This renders the remote analysis
feature obsolete.
- Revise the documentation to make it more accessible and easier to
understand.
On very small screens (that can be tested with iPhone SE size), the
`All` button overflows. This makes E2E tests fail with width like
`320px`.
This commit fixes the issue by removing `whitespace: no-break` but
employing simpler and self-documenting layout.
Key changes:
- Simplify scripts menu layout instead of relying on
`white-space: nowrap`.
- Increase gap when script menu items starts wrapping to avoid
"squeezed" look.
Other supporting changes:
- Simplify gaps by using `column-gap` and `row-gap` properties rather
than calculating margins.
- Use class-based styling instead of using `id`.
- Use more clear, consistent CSS class naming with prefixes in
`TheScriptsMenu` to improve maintainability.
- Introduce `center-middle-flex-item` mixin for better documenting the
code.
- Migrate feature disablement to PowerShell for clarity and robustness.
- Improve log outputs and error handling for missing or default-disabled
features. This fixes false-positive errors by treating the absence of

improving understandability for users.
- Add the ability to revert to default OS behavior for feature
enablement/disablement to align with OS defaults.
This commit fixes an UI inconsitency where the arrow did not animate in
sync with with the card's expansion panel during the expansion process.
The solution implemented involves the use of actual DOM element for the
arrow, rather than a pseude-element, allowing for unified animation with
the expansion panel.
Changes:
- Extraction of the expansion arrow into its own Vue component,
`CardExpansionArrow`, improving maintainability and separation of
concerns.
- Transition to using a real DOM element for the expansion arrow, moving
away from the `&:before` pseudo-class. This leads to simpler codebase,
better separation of concerns and closer alignment with HTML
semantics.
- Consolidate secret key improvement scripts into a single category.
- Simplify script names to improve user understanding.
- Expand and refine documentation, adding cautionary notes for clarity
and helping users make informed decisions (addresses issues #57, #131,
#175, #183).
- Adjust recommendation levels for scripts to 'Standard' to reflect
their adoption in modern Windows and align with security standards:
- Set Diffie-Hellman key exchange minimum to 2048 bits, matching
modern Windows defaults
- Align RSA key size with Microsoft's upcoming deprecation of 1024-bit
keys.
- Improve the revert process by suppressing false error messages using
`2>nul` in `reg delete` commands.
- Introduce a unified approach to adjust key sizes in key exchange
algorithms with `RequireMinimumKeySize` function.
- Modify the Diffie-Hellman key exchange to a 2048-bit minimum instead
of 4096 bits to balance security with broader software compatibility.
This attempts to reduce side-effects on third-party software as
reported in #57, #131, #183).
- Replace hexadecimal values with decimal equivalents in registry edits
to facilitate better maintainability and readability.
This commit addresses false negative failures in Cypress due to a known
Chrome issue.
The included change prevents Cypress tests from failing because of the
non-critical `ResizeObserver loop limit exceeded` error, which occurs
inconsistently during CI/CD runs with GitHub runners. This error has
been documented in CHrome and does not affect actual browser usage or
local test runs. This commit implements a widely recommended workaround
that ignores this specific error during test execution.
Error from Cypress:
```
Error: The following error originated from your application code, not from Cypress.
> ResizeObserver loop limit exceeded
```
The solution follows community-driven advice and past discussions on
handling this benign exception within test scenarios. It contributes to
more reliable CI/CD results by filtering out irrelevant error noise.
For detailed background and discussion on this error, see:
- Cypress issues: cypress-io/cypress#8418, cypress-io/cypress#20341
- Cypress PRs: cypress-io/cypress#20257, cypress-io/cypress#20284

This commit fixes an issue where the card's header would improperly
expand to full height during card collapse, leading to a less smooth
user experience. Previously, this was caused by the indiscriminate use
of `transition: all` in the `.card__expander`, which included unwanted
properties in the transition during collapse, such as height. This is
solved by using Vue transitions to apply transition only during
expansion.
Changes:
- Introduce a new Vue component, `CardExpandAnimation`:
- Centralizes the animation process, applying the same animation to
both the card and its arrow for consistency.
- Resolves the glitch by adjusting classes exclusively during the
enter animation phase, avoiding unintended side effects during leave
animation phase.
- Adopts a Vue-idiomatic approach for transition management, improving
code readability and maintainability.
- Improves separation of concerns by isolating animation logic from
the component's core functionality, facilitating easier updates or
replacements.
- Remove unnecessary transitions to enhance code simplicity and
performance:
- Remove `transition: all` on `.card__expander`, which was identified
as the cause of the issue.
- Remove unnecessary `transition: all` on `.card`.
- Adjust transitions to specifically target and affect the transform
property (instead of `all`) to optimize animation behavior and
eliminate potential side-effects.
These changes not only fix the issue at hand but also contribute to a
more maintainable and performant codebase by clarifying animation logic
and reducing unnecessary CSS transitions.
This commit resolves an issue causing horizontal UI layout shift when a
script is selected for the first time, and when all selected scripts are
deselected. This issue was only observed on Chromium-based browsers on
Linux environment when using macOS and Windows script collections.
The underlying cause was identified as the use of percentage-based
values for CSS margin and padding. To resolve this issue, these values
were updated to absolute measurements. This adjustment maintains layout
consistency across user interactions without compromising the
responsiveness.
The underlying cause was identified as the use of percentage-based values
for CSS margin and padding within certain elements. To resolve this issue,
these values were updated to absolute measurements. This adjustment
maintains layout consistency across user interactions without compromising
the responsiveness of the application.
Additionally, an end-to-end (E2E) test has been introduced to monitor
for future regressions of this layout shift bug, ensuring that the fix
remains effective over subsequent updates.
This commit addresses a UI issue observed on small screens, particularly
during text searches involving nested nodes.
Implementing word-breaking for the improved display of script/category
titles and their documentation prevents content overflow. This change
ensures that both the header (including the node title and documentation
icon) and the documentation text stay fully visible without overflowing.
Additionally, this fix replaces ID-based styling (`#node`) with
class-based styling, using clear, descriptive names. This enhances CSS
and JavaScript reusability and maintainability.
Key changes:
- Run URL checks more frequently on every change.
- Introduce environment variable to randomly select and limit URLs
tested, this way the tests will provide quicker feedback on code
changes.
Other supporting changes:
- Log more information about test before running the test to enable
easier troubleshooting.
- Move shuffle function for arrays for reusability and missing tests.
This commit upgrades Node.js version to v20.x in CI/CD environment.

This commit fixes an unintended bottom gap in the card expansional
panel, observed in the Windows script collection's "Advanced settings".
This issue arrives from a `min-height` CSS property that no longer
aligns with the current method for achieving balanced padding. It's only
visible when an action (a card) contains too few scripts (nodes).

This commit addresses a regression from refactoring in #215.
It restores YAML escape mechanism with quoting around 'manual' in the
`powerShellValue` attribute to ensure PowerShell interprets the value
correctly.
This change is documented with a comment to avoid future omissions.
This reverts commit c27172c32e.
This commit fixes inconsistent tooltip styling by setting the font
explicitly on the tooltip container to ensure uniform tooltip fonts.
As tooltip is rendered inside the parent elements' DOM, styling parent
element's font was also styling the font's font due to style
propogation, but setting fonts explicitly on tooltip ensure this does
not happen.

This commit improves the safety mechanisms in the script for deleting
OneDrive user data on Windows.
Key changes:
- System Integrity Protection: The script now checks if user shell
folders point to the OneDrive directory. If they do, it halts the
deletion and provides guidance to the user. This ensures system
stability is not compromised.
- Data Loss Prevention: The script will no longer delete files or
non-empty folders. This precaution helps to avoid unintended data
loss.
Other supporting changes:
- This script now covers OneDrive folders for multi-account users.
- Separation of concerns: The 'Remove OneDrive residual files' script is
is divided into two distinct scripts for better maintainability and
documentation clarity:
1. 'Remove OneDrive user data and synced folders'
2. 'Remove OneDrive installation files and cache'
- Fix an issue with the Windows 11 check in the 'Disable automatic
OneDrive installation' revert script.
- Update related documentation with archived URLs for reliability.
- Fix indentation of OneDrive removal scripts.
This commit improves the URL health checking mechanism to reduce false
negatives.
- Treat all 2XX status codes as successful, addressing issues with codes
like `204`.
- Improve URL matching to exclude URLs within Markdown inline code block
and support URLs containing parentheses.
- Add `forceHttpGetForUrlPatterns` to customize HTTP method per URL to
allow verifying URLs behind CDN/WAFs that do not respond to HTTP HEAD.
- Send the Host header for improved handling of webpages behind proxies.
- Improve formatting and context for output messages.
- Fix the defaulting options for redirects and cookie handling.
- Update the user agent pool to modern browsers and platforms.
- Add support for randomizing TLS fingerprint to mimic various clients
better, improving the effectiveness of checks. However, this is not
fully supported by Node.js's HTTP client; see nodejs/undici#1983 for
more details.
- Use `AbortSignal` instead of `AbortController` as more modern and
simpler way to handle timeouts.
This commit upgrades the `vitest` library to its first major version
(v1) resolving issues with previously unexecuted tests due to improperly
nested `it` blocks.
The migration to v1 uncovered error messages indicating the misuse of
`it` blocks, as described in vitest-dev/vitest#4229 and
vitest-dev/vitest#4262, prompting a restructuring of test cases for
proper execution.
Additionally, this commit adjusts singleton test definitions in
`DependencyProvider.spec.ts` to better reflect real usage scenarios and
correctly implement singleton pattern tests, enhancing test reliability.
Changes:
- Upgrade `vitest` from v0 to v1.
- Correct test definitions by organizing `it` blocks within `describe`
blocks.
- Fix singleton test definition in `DependencyProvider.spec.ts`.
This commit introduces a more structured approach to starting, stopping,
and managing Windows services. By abstracting service control operations
into dedicated functions (`StopService`, `StartService`, etc.), it
improves code readability and facilitates future maintenance.
The modifications include:
- Creation of files (`%APPDIR%`\privacy.sexy-<serviceName>`) for
managing service restart states. This approach simplifies the process
of determining whether a service was running before the script
executed and should therefore be restarted afterward.
- Using `DeleteFiles` and `ClearDirectoryContents` functions to safely
remove files without affecting service operations. This is enabled by
using shared funtions for service operations.
This commit updates the `vite` dependency to the latest version (5.1.X)
and makes necessary adjustments to accommodate deprecations and new
features introduced in Vite 5.1.X.
Changes include:
- Modify the import statement for SVG files to use `query: '?raw'` syntax
due to the deprecation of the `as: raw` option.
- Update `moduleResolution` setting to `Bundler` in `tsconfig.json` to
support the new TypeScript 5 option, aligning with Vite 5's migration
guide for Rollup 4 compatibility without requiring file extensions on
relative imports.
Plugin migrations for Vite 5 support:
- Bump `@modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml`, see @modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml#22.
- Bump `electron-vite`, see alex8088/electron-vite#335.
- Bump `vitejs/plugin-legacy`.
- Bump `vitejs/vite-plugin-vue`, see vitejs/vite-plugin-vue#290.
This commit upgrades TypeScript to the latest version 5.3 and introduces
`verbatimModuleSyntax` in line with the official Vue guide
recommendatinos (vuejs/docs#2592).
By enforcing `import type` for type-only imports, this commit improves
code clarity and supports tooling optimization, ensuring imports are
only bundled when necessary for runtime.
Changes:
- Bump TypeScript to 5.3.3 across the project.
- Adjust import statements to utilize `import type` where applicable,
promoting cleaner and more efficient code.
This commit improves the reliability of the `configure_vscode.py` script
on macOS by improving the detection mechanism for the Visual Studio Code
CLI command (`code`). It introduces a fallback mechanism to locate the
`code` executable in common installation path for macOS, addressing the
issue where the VSCode CLI might not be found in PATH variable.
Additionally, the commit refines error handling by providing clearer error
messages for unknown exceptions during the extension installation process.
This ensures that users are better informed about the nature of the error,
facilitating easier troubleshooting.
This commit ensures that the tooltip maintains its `z-index` during both
visibility and invisibility transitions. This prevents the tooltip from
falling behind other elements during its fade-in and fade-out
animations, providing smoother and more visually consistent user
experience.
By explicitly setting the shell to bash in GitHub actions workflow, this
commit fixes the failure of automated releases on Windows. Previously,
the default PowerShell environment on Windows runners led to syntax
incompatibilities, causing the release process to fail with an error
when executing git checkout commands.
This changes allows successful application publishing on Windows by
avoiding syntax issues due to PowerShell interpreting commands
differently, fixing the following error encountered:
```
Run git checkout "$(git rev-list "0.13.0"..master | tail -1)"
git checkout "$(git rev-list "0.13.0"..master | tail -1)"
shell: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.EXE -command ". '{0}'"
fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec. please use . instead if you meant to match all paths
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
```
