CLUSTER PRIVACY-FEATURES-WINDOWS · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-27
Windows privacy and telemetry tools
This cluster comprises Windows utilities that disable telemetry, tracking, ads, and AI features, remove preinstalled apps, and configure browsers for privacy. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from; the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, uninstall-copilot leads with 150 stars, followed by windows-ai-privacy-toolkit (73) and YandexMaxBlocker (2).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
