What popular apps have you dumped lately?
This is like the opposite of those other threads you've seen..."What are your favorite apps?"
Over the years certain apps have worked great, or at least better than competitors, and I've enjoyed using them.
These days old popular apps seem to be approaching their 'end of life' mode, not in popularity or use, but in that the original creators want to retire comfortably and $$$ell. That's what every entrepreneur wants to do later in their life. (Just not the way McAffee did.)
I've finally retired Firefox. After updating for a year or so on a weekly schedule I had enough. Didn't enjoy the fact that I had to re-tweak everything in it to be the way I had it each previous week.
Got rid of CCleaner. I have the Brave browser with CyberGhost Cookie Cleaner.
Brave clears cookies, cache etc. with one click and keeps my log-in passwords.
CGCC keeps those cookies from being deleted just like CCleaner did only less convoluted.
Malwarebytes has been gone for over 3 years. I haven't even had a PUP since then.
If I ever do get some funky behavior I can always download it and see what's up. I've done that quite a few times these past years and nothing. So out it goes.
I'm almost wanting to dump Flux. It's a good app but it seems I don't need it anymore. My eyes aren't bugging me like they were a while back.
