Changelog
- The CoTweaker plugin is leveling up and bringing back almost all the old Bloatynosy privacy and system settings in a sleek, optimized form. I've taken note of your feedback #145 There's a lot more coming in the future
For a better understanding for the old Bloatynosy users: The "CoTweaker" plugin basically replaces the core functionality of Bloatynosy, and the "Decrapify" plugin replaces its debloater. On top of that, you'll get continuous help and tips from Clippy, who also manages command processing. Some old Bloatynosy settings can be translated directly through the "AI" chatbox for quick adjustments, like taskbar alignment or widget deactivation, etc.
- UI optimized. Search field is located in the bottom area. Clippy occasionally changes his character and appearance
- Bloatware search optimized for the Decrapifiy plugin
- Prepared first steps for localizations
- The app update search has now been enabled
- Support for external scripts optimized. A search query for "plugin" will yield results for the supported external scripts
I had to deal with some issues from Microsoft, particularly with false positives from Windows Defender. But it should be all sorted out now. I'm still considering whether I should give it another shot and bring the app to the Microsoft Store. Unfortunately, Bloatynosy didn't survive in the store for long back then. Maybe it was just the funky app name holding us back back then, who knows!😄
Info
The app supports localizations. I've given the app a German translation. To activate it, go to the chat field and request "German" or "translate"
