While Microsoft provides new great features with every distribution released, unfortunately, most of them are breaking your privacy.
Blackbird V6 is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to enhance your privacy settings, particularly on Windows 10, without having to modify HOSTS files or figure out how to tweak firewall settings.
The application does not require setup and you can use it as soon as you decompress the archive in the desired location on your hard disk. Upon launch, the utility scans your system and provides you with a summary of the problematic features and their status.
It is important to note that the program allows you to view all modifications that it performs on your computer. You can access the Verbose mode via the Command Line and typing blackbird -v to check out all changes done as well as the services that are being turned off.
As indicated in the app, you can hit any key to tweak your privacy setting and disable the services that are prone to collect data.While some of them can be turned on via commands, for others you are required to enable them manually.
The idea behind the application is to provide you with a simple method of improving the security features on your operating system and make sure that your online browsing or other habits are not collected without your consent.
Among the features and services that the program disables or blocks, you can count OneDrive, Cortana, Wi-Fi Sense, Start menu ads, Xbox live services, Windows P2P update sharing, diagnostic tracking service and Windows Media online DRM.
Moreover, it disables your unique ad-tracking ID token, various metric data collection agents, Win10 upgrade messages and can block over 150 tracking, telemetry and ad servers.
In the eventuality that you value your privacy and would like to prevent Windows from collecting data via the multiple embedded services and features, then perhaps Blackbird V6 could lend you a hand.
