I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

I mean Windows is a free OS. You can freely download and install it without paying and receive nothing but a watermark in exchange.
It's become more and more like Android over the years where "you are the product" so this is unsurprising.
most people pay for it when they buy their computer.
Sure but you can also download and install it entirely for free.
Just because they aren't as punitive anymore doesn't mean its free.
I mean, for all intents and purposes, it is.
Its "free" to install. Still a pain in the ass and needs to be unlocked with MAS lol
Agreed, they don't even have the cash cow that some other free OSes have in their app stores.
MacOS is free and has been for years. Still no bullshit.
MacOS is not free, it's just included with the hardware...
