This commit improves soft deletion of system apps. Before if the package
was missing, it failed to recover or delete system apps. Now, it works
even though if `Get-AppxPackage` returns null (i.e. package is
non-existing), so it can be executed even after a hard delete. This
allows safely introducing hard-delete of system apps (as discussed in
#260) with still keeping a robust soft-delete as complement.
Before, the script was dependent on `Get-AppxPackage.InstallLocation`,
however a system app can only be located in one of these folders:
- C:\Windows\SystemApps\{PackageFamilyName}
- C:\Windows\{ShortAppName}
To ensure resilience, this commit adjust the script to rename the files
within these directories if Get-AppxPackage fails, this provides a
fallback.
- Add documentation about folders.
- Add more user-friendly logging.
- Continue uninstallation if single folder fails (remove throw).
- Continue uninstallation if renaming single file fails.
- Add handling of `Metadata` folder as suggested in #73.
- Use instruction format such as "do this, do that" to provide clear,
direct instructions. This format minimize confusion and is easy to
follow. They are specific and leave no room for interpretation,
stating precisely what needs to be done without ambiguity.
- Fix typos and grammar issues.
- Improve consistency in script and category names.
- Revise sentences for more natural English language flow.
- Change brand name casing to match official branding.
- Change title case (all words start capitalized) to sentence case.
- Prioritize consistency over variations.
- Add minor documentation to explain scripts where the names are not
clear.
- Add naming guidelines.

The commit adds a new a UI component that's enabled in development mode.
This component, initially, provides a button that wen clicked, logs all
the script and category names to the console. It helps revising names
used throughout the application.
By having this component in a conditionally rendered component, it's
excluded from the production builds.
- Move removal of `SecHealthUI` app to "Privacy over security" category.
- Emphasize disruptive behavior in the script name.
- Add comprehensive documentation
- Add script to remove Edge shortcuts upon uninstallation.
- Unify OneDrive shortcut removal logic with Edge's, introducing revert
feature to the OneDrive removal script.
- Add more extensive documentation.
- Rename "Delete OneDrive shortcuts" to "Remove OneDrive shortcuts" to
have consistent naming.
This commit introduces scripts for cleaning up file and URL associations
related to Microsoft Edge, enhancing the uninstallation process. The
changes adress the issues detailed in #64, improving system reliability,
integrity and security by preventing lingering associations.
Changes include:
- Introduce scripts to clear Edge browser file and URL associations.
- Provide extensive documentation for related scripts.
- Ensure thorough cleanup of URL, file, OpenWith menu, and toast
associations.
- Recommend removing Microsoft Edge (Legacy) Dev Tools Client app on
Strict to align with other Edge legacy removal recommendations.
- Replace obsolete "Firefox First party isolation" with "Firefox state
partitioning".
- Add comprehensive documentation for the new scripts.
- Introduce enabling dynamic First-Party Isolation (dFPI)
- Disable deprecated First-Party Isolation (FPI) to avoid conflicts with
dFPI.
- Add script to enable Firefox network partitioning to cover
functionality of older FPI script.
This commit enhances the robustness of setting VSCode configurations,
ensuring consistent and reliable operation even in edge cases, such as
when the settings file is empty. This commit also uniforms behavior of
Linux and Windows modification of VSCode settings.
On Windows:
- Move parameters to on top of scripts to be able to easily test the
scripts using PowerShell without compiling.
- Add a check to exit the script with an error message if the attempt to
parse the JSON content fails.
- Omit the `OutString` cmdlet from the pipeline in the script for
converting JSON file content to a PowerShell object. `Out-String` is
unnecessary in this context because `Get-Content` already outputs the
file content as a string array, which `ConvertFrom-Json` effectively.
Additionally, using `Out-String` could potentially introduce issues by
concatenating file content into a single string, causing
`ConvertFrom-Json` to fail when processing pretty-printed JSON. By
removing `Out-String`, the script is streamlined and potential errors
are avoided.
- Add logic to handle empty settings file. Add an additional check for
empty settings file, if the file is empty, the script writes a default
empty JSON object (`{}`) to the file. The operation is logged to
ensure transparency, notifying the user of the action taken. This
change removes fails due to empty setting files.
- When reverting, do not fail if the setting file is missing because it
means that default settings are already in-place.
- When reverting, show informative message if the key does not exist or
does not have the value set by privacy.sexy and do not take any
further action.
- If the desired value is already set, show a message for it and skip
updating the setting file.
On Linux:
- Handles empty `settings.json` similarly to Windows.
- Add more user friendly error if JSON file cannot be parsed.
This commit improve cleanup of temporary directories on Windows,
addressing issues #176 and #89.
Changes include:
- Fix side-effects caused by this script by clearing the contents of
directories rather than deleting the directories themselves.
- Add the removal of Prefetch directory contents, which stores temporary
files and can enhance privacy and free up disk space when cleared.
- Remove the command `del /f /q %localappdata%\Temp\*` due to its
redundancy.
- Improve the granularity and documentation of cleanup scripts, and
moving the `Clear temporary Windows files` category up in the hierarchy
for better structure and clarity.

The tree view rendering performance is optimized by improving the node
render queue ordering. The node rendering order is modified based on the
expansion state and the depth in the hierarchy, leading to faster
rendering of visible nodes. This optimization is applied when the tree
nodes are not expanded to improve the rendering speed.
This new ordering ensures that nodes are rendered more efficiently,
prioritizing nodes that are collapsed and are at a higher level in the
hierarchy.
This commit fixes an issue where the check state of categories was lost
when toggling between card and tree views. This is solved by immediately
emitting node state changes for all nodes. This ensures consistent view
transitions without any loss of node state information.
Furthermore, this commit includes added unit tests for the modified code
sections.
- Modify script to run as `TrustedInstaller`, resolving access right
problems discussed in #246.
- Change script name for better alignment with its functionality.
- Improve script description for clarity and detailed documentation.
- Add non-intrusive way to disable delivery optimization. This new
script do not introduce side-effects caused by disabling Delivery
Optimization service.
- Recomend delivery optimization service (`DoSvc`) only on Strict
mode, removing it from Standard recommendation.
- Categorize delivery optimization disabling under one category.
- Move disabling delivery optimization to "Disable OS collection" >
"Disable Windows Update data collection".
- Add more documentation.
- Fix script failing when multiple installations of Edge is found.
- Fix Edge not being able to be uninstalled due in newer Edge versions.
- Add documentation
- Add missing revert script
- Introduce a new UI component for tooltips.
- Fix tooltip arrow misalignment issues in code download/execution
instructions dialogs.
Reasons for dropping `v-tooltip` dependency:
- Lack of support for Vue 3.0, which blocks migration to Vue 3.0 (see
#230).
- Inability to render HTML content that's required for privacy.sexy.
- Inefficient, adding an extra 162.48 KB to the production bundle for
web distribution (tested using `npm run build -- --mode production`).
Advantages of adopting `floating-ui` (Floating UI):
- Compatibility across multiple Vue versions including 2.0, 2.7, and 3.0.
- Reduced boilerplate resulting in cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Efficient position recalculations without reinventing the wheel.
This commit adds missing vertical margin paragraphs that appear after
lists. It also changes vertical margin gap to match the font size along
with refactoring that makes paragraph gap modification easier to
understand.
This commit fixes compiler bug where it fails when optional values are
compiled into absent values in nested calls.
- Throw exception with more context for easier future debugging.
- Add better validation of argument values for nested calls.
- Refactor `FunctionCallCompiler` for better clarity and modularize it
to make it more maintainable and testable.
- Refactor related interface to not have `I` prefix, and
function/variable names for better clarity.
Context:
Discovered this issue while attempting to call
`RunInlineCodeAsTrustedInstaller` which in turn invokes `RunPowerShell`
for issue #246. This led to the realization that despite parameters
flagged as optional, the nested argument compilation didn't support
them.
- Add script to disable `WaaSMedicSvc` service (#252)
- Refine script granularity for more precise control.
- Introduce detailed documentation for the category and associated
scripts.
- Fix `ScheduledInstallTime` being set to `3` which schedules updates to
install at 3 AM.
- Fix `ScheduledInstallDay` is being set to `0` which schedules daily
update installation.
- Fix `NoAutoUpdate` being set to `0` (enable) instead of `1` (disable).
- Add disabling of missing `wuauserv` service.
- Add parent category for disabling Windows update services for better
organization.
- Move disabling Windows Spotlight from Standard to Strict
recommendation due to unexpected behavior for some users (#65).
- Enhance documentation.
- Correct revert code to ensure return to the default OS state.
Key highlights:
- Written from scratch to cater specifically to privacy.sexy's
needs and requirements.
- The visual look mimics the previous component with minimal changes,
but its internal code is completely rewritten.
- Lays groundwork for future functionalities like the "expand all"
button a flat view mode as discussed in #158.
- Facilitates the transition to Vue 3 by omitting the Vue 2.0 dependent
`liquour-tree` as part of #230.
Improvements and features:
- Caching for quicker node queries.
- Gradual rendering of nodes that introduces a noticable boost in
performance, particularly during search/filtering.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
Changes:
- Keyboard interactions now alter the background color to highlight the
focused item. Previously, it was changing the color of the text.
- Better state management with clear separation of concerns:
- `TreeView` exclusively manages indeterminate states.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
- Introduce transaction pattern to update state in batches to minimize
amount of events handled.
- Improve keyboard focus, style background instead of foreground. Use
hover/touch color on keyboard focus.
- `SelectableTree` has been removed. Instead, `TreeView` is now directly
integrated with `ScriptsTree`.
- `ScriptsTree` has been refactored to incorporate hooks for clearer
code and separation of duties.
- Adopt Vue-idiomatic bindings instead of keeping a reference of the
tree component.
- Simplify and change filter event management.
- Abandon global styles in favor of class-scoped styles.
- Use global mixins with descriptive names to clarify indended
functionality.
This commit simplifies event handling, providing a unified and robust
way to handle event lifecycling. This way, it fixes events not being
unsubscribed when state is changed.
Introduce a new function in `EventSubscriptionCollection` to remove
existing events and adding new events. This provides an easier to use
API, which leads to code that's easier to understand. It also prevents
potential bugs that may occur due to forgetting to call both functions.
It fixes `TheScriptsMenu` not unregistering events on state change.
Other improvements include:
- Include a getter to get total amount of registered subcriptions.
This helps in unit testing.
- Have nullish checks to prevent potential errors further down the
execution.
- Use array instead of rest parameters to increase readability and
simplify tests.
Ensure `SliderHandler` stops resizes on unmount, unsubscribing from all
events and resetting state to default.
Update `injectionKeys` to do imports as types to avoid circular
dependencies. Simplify importing `injectionKeys` to enable and strict
typings for iterating injection keys.
Add tests covering new behavior.
Test improvements:
- Capture titles for all macOS windows, not just the frontmost.
- Incorporate missing application log files.
- Improve log clarity with enriched context.
- Improve application termination on macOS by reducing grace period.
- Ensure complete application termination on macOS.
- Validate Vue application loading through an initial log.
- Support ignoring environment-specific `stderr` errors.
- Do not fail the test if working directory cannot be deleted.
- Use retry pattern when installing dependencies due to network errors.
Refactorings:
- Migrate the test code to TypeScript.
- Replace deprecated `rmdir` with `rm` for error-resistant directory
removal.
- Improve sanity checking by shifting from App.vue to Vue bootstrapper.
- Centralize environment variable management with `EnvironmentVariables`
construct.
- Rename infrastructure/Environment to RuntimeEnvironment for clarity.
- Isolate WindowVariables and SystemOperations from RuntimeEnvironment.
- Inject logging via preloader.
- Correct mislabeled RuntimeSanity tests.
Configuration:
- Introduce `npm run check:desktop` for simplified execution.
- Omit `console.log` override due to `nodeIntegration` restrictions and
reveal logging functionality using context-bridging.
Manage Firefox preferences through `user.js` instead of `prefs.js`.
Because of Mozilla's recommendation against direct `prefs.js` edits to
avoid potential profile corruption. Instead, the `user.js` file, if
present, overrides the settings in `prefs.js` at application startup.
Change AddFirefoxPrefs function to update `user.js` and manage
creation/deletion of this file:
1. Handle file creation if `user.js` does not exist.
2. Deletes file if `user.js` becomes empty after reverting settings.
Other changes:
- Improve log messages
- Minimal refactorings
Enable `contextIsolation` in Electron to securely expose a limited set
of Node.js APIs to the renderer process. It:
1. Isolates renderer and main process contexts. It ensures that the
powerful main process functions aren't directly accessible from
renderer process(es), adding a security boundary.
2. Mitigates remote exploitation risks. By isolating contexts, potential
malicious code injections in the renderer can't directly reach and
compromise the main process.
3. Reduces attack surface.
4. Protect against prototype pollution: It prevents tampering of
JavaScript object prototypes in one context from affecting another
context, improving app reliability and security.
Supporting changes include:
- Extract environment and system operations classes to the infrastructure
layer. This removes node dependencies from core domain and application
code.
- Introduce `ISystemOperations` to encapsulate OS interactions. Use it
from `CodeRunner` to isolate node API usage.
- Add a preloader script to inject validated environment variables into
renderer context. This keeps Electron integration details
encapsulated.
- Add new sanity check to fail fast on issues with preloader injected
variables.
- Improve test coverage of runtime sanity checks and environment
components. Move validation logic into separate classes for Single
Responsibility.
- Improve absent value test case generation.
- Fix a bug (introduced in 1b9be8fe) preventing the tree view from being
visible during a search.
- Fix a minor bug where the scripts view does not render based on the
initial filter.
- Add Vue component tests for `TheScriptView` to prevent regressions.
- Refactor `isSearching` in `TheScriptView` to simplify its logic.
- Switch from deprecated Vue CLI plugin to `electron-vite` (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1982)
- Update main/preload scripts to use `index.cjs` filenames to support
`"type": "module"`, resolving crash issue (#233). This crash was
related to Electron not supporting ESM (see electron/asar#249,
electron/electron#21457).
- This commit completes migration to Vite from Vue CLI (#230).
Structure changes:
- Introduce separate folders for Electron's main and preload processes.
- Move TypeHelpers to `src/` to mark tit as accessible by the rest of
the code.
Config changes:
- Make `vite.config.ts` reusable by Electron configuration.
- On electron-builder, use `--publish` flag instead of `-p` for clarity.
Tests:
- Add log for preload script loading verification.
- Implement runtime environment sanity checks.
- Enhance logging in `check-desktop-runtime-errors`.
This commit changes the web application's build, transpilation and
minification process from Vue CLI to Vite. This shift paves the way for
a full migration to Vite as the primary build tool (#230).
Configuration changes:
- `.vscode/extensions.json`: Update recommended plugins, replacing
unmaintained ones with official recommendations.
- Legacy browser support:
- Use `@vitejs/plugin-legacy` to transpile for older browsers.
- Remove `core-js` dependency and `babel.config.cjs` configuration as
they're now handled by the legacy plugin.
- Delete `@babel/preset-typescript` and `@babel/preset-typescript`
dependencies as legacy plugin handles babel dependencies by default.
- Add `terser` dependency that's used by the legacy plugin for
minification, as per Vite's official documentation.
- `tsconfig.json`:
- Remove obsolete `webpack-env` types.
- Add `"resolveJsonModule": true` to be able to read JSON files in
right way.
- Use correct casing as configuration values.
- Simplify `lib` to align with Vite and Vue starter configuration.
- Add `"skipLibCheck": true` as `npm run build` now runs `tsc` which
fails on inconsistent typings inside `node_modules` due to npm's
weak dependency resoultion.
- PostCSS:
- Add `autoprefixer` as dependency, no longer installed by Vue CLI.
- Epxlicitly added `postcss` as dependency to anticipate potential
peer dependency changes.
- Remove related `@vue/cli` dependencies.
- Remove `sass-loader` as Vite has native CSS preprocessing support.
- Run integration tests with `jsdom` environment so `window` object can
be used.
Client-side changes:
- Abstract build tool specific environment variable population.
Environment variables were previously populated by Vue CLI and now by
Vite but not having an abstraction caused issues. This abstraction
solves build errors and allows easier future migrations and testing.
- Change Vue CLI-specific `~@` aliases to `@` to be able to compile with
Vite.
- Update types in LiquorTree to satisfy `tsc`.
- Remove Vue CLI-specific workaround from `src/presentation/main.ts`.
Restructuring:
- Move `public/` to `presentation/` to align with the layered structure,
which was not possible with Vue CLI.
- Move `index.html` to web root instead of having it inside `public/` to
align with official recommended structure.
- Move logic shared by both integration and unit tests to
`tests/shared`.
- Move logo creation script to `scripts/` and its npm command to include
`build` to align with rest of the structure.
As part of transition to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230), this commit
facilitates the shift towards building rest of the application using
Vite. By doing so, it eliminates reliance on outdated Electron building
system that offered limited control, blocking desktop builds (#233).
Changes include:
- Introduce Vite with Vue 2.0 plugin for test execution.
- Remove `mocha`, `chai` and other related dependencies.
- Adjust test to Vitest syntax.
- Revise and update `tests.md` to document the changes.
- Add `@modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml` plugin to be able to use yaml file
depended logic on test files, replacing previous webpack behavior.
- Fix failing tests that are revealed by Vitest due to unhandled errors
and lack of assertments.
- Remove the test that depends on Vue CLI populating `process.env`.
- Use `jsdom` for unit test environment, adding it to dependency to
`package.json` as project now depends on it and it was not specified
even though `package-lock.json` included it.
- Add automation script for building, packaging, installing, executing
and verifying Electron distrubtions across macOS, Ubuntu and Windows.
- Add GitHub workflow to run the script to test distributions using the
script.
- Update README with new workflow status badge.
- Add application initialization log to desktop applications to be able
to test against crashes before application initialization.
Refactor filter event handling to a unified event with visitor pattern
to simplify the code, avoid future bugs and provide better test
coverage.
This commit shifts from using separate `filtered` and `filterRemoved`
events to a singular, more expressive `filterChanged` event. The new
approach emits a detailed payload that explicitly indicates the filter
action and the associated filter data. The event object unifies the way
the presentation layer reacts to the events.
Benefits with this approach include:
- Simplifying event listeners by reducing the number of events to
handle.
- Increasing code clarity and reduces potential for oversight by
providing explicit action details in the event payload.
- Offering extensibility for future actions without introducing new
events.
- Providing visitor pattern to handle different kind of events in easy
and robust manner without code repetition.
Other changes:
- Refactor components handling of events to follow DRY and KISS
principles better.
- Refactor `UserFilter.spec.ts` to:
- Make it easier to add new tests.
- Increase code coverage by running all event-based tests on the
current property.
- Remove existing integration tests for hooks as they're redundant after
this change.
- Document the pattern in relevant documentation.
- Introduce `useEnvironment` to increase testability.
- Update components to inject dependencies rather than importing hooks
directly.
This commits fixes an issue where the `REVERT` label on revert toggle
might render as `REVER` or in a similarly clipped manner due to its
fixed width. The problem is visible when certain fonts fail to load or
browser engines render content non-standardly.
Changes:
- Refactor UI component to have its own separate Vue component with unit
tests.
- Rework component design to utilize flexbox, enhancing its adaptability
and simplifying the structure.
- Remove obselete `webkit` directives.
- Refactor SCSS for clearer structure and better SCSS best-practices.
- Use `em` when possible instead of `px` for improved responsiveness.
This commit introduces a new Vue component to handle tooltips. It acts
as a wrapper for the `v-tooltip`. It enhances the maintainability,
readability and portability of tooltips by enabling the direct inclusion
of inline HTML in the tooltip components. It solves issues such as
absence of linting or editor support and cumbersome string
concatenation.
It also provides an abstraction layer that simplifies the switching
between different tooltip implementations, which would allow a smooth
migration to Vue 3 (see #230).
Introduce a brand new lightweight and efficient modal component. It is
designed to be visually similar to the previous one to not introduce a
change in feel of the application in a patch release, but behind the
scenes it features:
- Enhanced application speed and reduced bundle size.
- New flexbox-driven layout, eliminating JS calculations.
- Composition API ready for Vue 3.0 #230.
Other changes:
- Adopt idiomatic Vue via `v-modal` binding.
- Add unit tests for both the modal and dialog.
- Remove `vue-js-modal` dependency in favor of the new implementation.
- Adjust modal shadow color to better match theme.
- Add `@vue/test-utils` for unit testing.
Unit and integration tests have been failing due to failed logging of
`Error` objects. These were creating an issue where `mocha` was not
properly returning right exit codes, leading to test pipelines
incorrectly passing despite test failures.
- Fix runtime behavior of failing to retrieve error stacks.
- Add tests for error handling.
- Add more robust custom error handling.
Related issues: babel/babel#14273, vuejs/vue-cli#6994.

TrustedInstaller`), and put Firewall services in Windows Firewall
section, so that people do not accidently disable Windows Firewall
services and break Microsoft Store.

- Migrate `StatefulVue`:
- Introduce `UseCollectionState` that replaces its behavior and acts
as a shared state store.
- Add more encapsulated, granular functions based on read or write
access to state in CollectionState.
- Some linting rules get activates due to new code-base compability to
modern parses, fix linting errors.
- Rename Dialog to ModalDialog as after refactoring,
eslintvue/no-reserved-component-names does not allow name Dialog.
- To comply with `vue/multi-word-component-names`, rename:
- `Code` -> `CodeInstruction`
- `Handle` -> `SliderHandle`
- `Documentable` -> `DocumentableNode`
- `Node` -> `NodeContent`
- `INode` -> `INodeContent`
- `Responsive` -> `SizeObserver`
- Remove `vue-property-decorator` and `vue-class-component`
dependencies.
- Refactor `watch` with computed properties when possible for cleaner
code.
- Introduce `UseApplication` to reduce repeated code in new components
that use `computed` more heavily than before.
- Change TypeScript target to `es2017` to allow top level async calls
for getting application context/state/instance to simplify the code by
removing async calls. However, mocha (unit and integration) tests do
not run with top level awaits, so a workaround is used.
All outbound links now include `rel="noopener noreferrer"` attribute.
This security improvement prevents the new page from being able to
access the `window.opener` property and ensures it runs in a separate
process.
`rel="noopener"`:
When a new page is opened using `target="_blank"`, the new page runs
on the same process as the originating page, and has a reference to
the originating page `window.opener`. By implementing
`rel="noopener"`, the new page is prevented to use `window.opener`
property.
It's security issue because the newly opened website could
potentially redirect the page to a malicious URL. Even though
privacy.sexy doesn't have any sensitive information to protect, this
can still be a vector for phishing attacks.
`rel="noreferrer"`:
It implies features of `noopener`, and also prevents `Referer` header
from being sent to the new page. Referer headers may include
sensitive data, because they tell the new page the URL of the page
the request is coming from.
- Migrate to newer `eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript` from
`eslint-config-airbnb`.
- Add also `rushstack/eslint-patch` as per instructed by
`eslint-config-airbnb-with-typescript` docs.
- Update codebase to align with new linting standards.
- Add script to configure VS Code for effective linting for project
developers, move it to `scripts` directory along with clean npm
install script for better organization.
- Add new scripts under "Disable Windows telemetry and data collection".
- Update script names and documentations to align with Microsoft's
latest branding for telemetry.
- Introduce broader configurability to minimize data collection.
- Add missing revert code to allow the reversion of changes, increasing
flexibility and safety.
- Include comprehensive documentation to provide more context and
understanding for users.
