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)

Resolves: #1624

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.

Closing in preference of https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/926

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 😀
