Privacy.sexy is an open-source privacy tool that helps users implement security and privacy best practices on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems[^4].

Key features include:

Hundreds of customizable privacy and security scripts
Free and transparent codebase
Reversible changes if issues occur
Web version requiring no software installation
Desktop version with additional direct script execution capabilities
Independent, portable scripts without cross-dependencies
Extensive testing and community verification[^4]

The tool comes in two versions:

An online web version that runs without installing software
An offline desktop version with expanded functionality for running scripts directly[^4]

The project is built using TypeScript and Vue.js, with the desktop application created using Electron[^8]. All aspects of the application, including infrastructure and deployments, are open-source and automated through a system called "bump-everywhere"[^4].

This looks shady. Clearing your trash has nothing to do with enhancing your privacy and while some things are useful, like Firefox settings they are mixed with other useless things. And I also wouldn't recommend running random scripts from the internet.

Just because it has options to clear junk doesn't mean it has nothing to do with privacy.
