  • That’s my point. AppCleaner isn’t magic. It’s killing off some known flotsam and making, essentially, educated guesses. It occasionally gets it wrong. Less frequently with suggesting removal of something it shouldn’t have and more often by not catching “everything”.

    Apple doesn’t want to be involved with guessing games and run into the potential of getting it wrong. Microsoft doesn’t do it with Windows and none of major Linux distributions that I’m familiar with do it, under default conditions, either.



  • I was thrilled with Apple’s hide my email when it was announced. Then I went through the process and abandoned it.

    It was much less friction to just register a new domain and have anything that arrives there forwarded to my main email box. Need a new email, just generate a random string of characters and add the domain at the end, done.

    While not as “private” it mitigates my primary concerns. Every website that uses email address for login now has a completely unique one, no email address ever gets used twice. If an email leaks in a breach and starts getting spammed, (a) I know exactly who leaked my email address, (b) I simply create a rule to blacklist any email to that address avoiding the spam problem.
