This patch improves Windows scripts, compiler validation, and fixes several bugs. It also fixes some minor UI issues, and auto-update bug on macOS desktop version. Key Windows script improvements include enhanced better Defender management, new phishing protection options, and fixes for Edge/Chrome privacy settings.
privacy.sexy now clears update files, but before they were not cleared by the operating system.
📝 Note for macOS desktop users
Some update files may have been accumulated on your system, taking storage space.
Open terminal and run this command: rm -v /var/folders/*/*/privacy.sexy/*-installer.dmg to clear them.
This bug is fixed and you'll only need to do this once if you used older versions of privacy.sexy desktop for macOS.
