added privacy.sexy (https://privacy.sexy & https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy), open source & free software for more privacy and security on Windows 10

Description

Privacy & security generator on Windows 10.
It's like W10Privacy but open source and much more transparent about what it does. It requires no installation and generates all logic on the web platform. It also has a bigger scope of tweaks including enforcement of security best practices and stopping data collection for third party softwares such as Razer & Google Chrome.
Attributes:
- Open Source (both infrastructure + application)
- Free Software (GPL-3.0)
- No tracking, no cookies

⚠️ Disclosure

I am the author of the privacy.sexy. I built it for myself and decided to open-source it because I could not find any web application that ► is easily extendible ► gives quick insight to tweaks ► has big range of relevant tweaks (security + applications)

Check List

I have read and understand the contributing guidelines.
The project is Free Libre and/or Open Source Software

I have several problems with this PR:

There is no software suggestion issue that is closed by this PR, please open one.
You don't provide explanation on what exactly this does and how it benefits PrivacyTools readers leaving more research for the contributors.
You appear to be the author of privacy.sexy which is a warning sign for me especially as you didn't disclose your affiliation.

Yes O&O ShutUp10 is closed source, but so is Windows. the main issue with blocking things with firewall rules/hosts files is it can cause certain breakages with Windows.

ShutUp10 instead uses the group policies to disable telemetry,

Hi @dngray , thanks for checking this out.

I'd just like to point out that privacy.sexy does not use any firewall rule/host file modification and mainly uses registry settings including GPOs (except cleaning/removal logic).

You can check how it exactly works here.

The "standard" recommendation pool is designed to be non-breaking for any users so it should be safe to run it for any grandmother 😀
