PC gamers have modded every game that has been released, whether legal or not. I can't believe there is no "remove ads from start bar" mod available yet.
I have recently been using BloatyNosy at my IT job when setting up new Windows 11 PCs.
It's a lightweight little Windows 11 debloater. It's just a simple UI with checkboxes to modify and run a powershell script. Just in case anyone is looking for a FOSS alternative. The link that you posted looks similar, but it doesn't appear to be open source.
Yeah it's the same thing, it just runs registry entry scripts based off toggle switches. I guess it's not FOSS, but it is freeware. I've had a good experience with it so far. The toggle switches are nice because it gives you a handy visual reference of how much Windows overwrites your settings to turn all that shit back on during meaningless updates. I'm convinced that some of their updates don't do anything except turn all their tracking back on and push an ad of sorts in your face.
Edit: To all those who downvoted me for my comment, you were right to do so. I downloaded the program and it was truly a genuinely free program with no advertising or anything. While I still am not a fan of O&O for other reasons, in this case you were all right.
I'm sorry.
It's literally a completely free app. They made it easy for less tech-savvy people to debloat windows. Again, for free. Is it so wrong that they mention they take donations on a small portion of the bottom of their webpage? The fuck you complaining for?

“Hey man, I gave you that for free. No you don’t need to pay me for it, but while you’re here check out my assortment of completely useless apps that will 100% make your computer super fast”
Except that didn't happen... they don't advertise the rest of the website or products anywhere on that page or the program itself. They never even mention that they make other apps.

Prey on them by giving them free software that literally never asks for anything, and allows them control over areas of their computer that they wouldn't normally understand? Okay then!
You are calling them losers for giving something away for free?
I think you misunderstood the quote. There's no cost, it's free, but they're flattered that people think it should cost money.
I just saw your edit. That's cool, man. I'm glad you checked it out.
