    I've been using Hibit for over a year now with zero issues, I think it works rather well.

    I know that wasn't directed at me but other opinions never hurt. I have been using it a while on multiple PCs and have never had a problem with anything... except the registry cleaner. If you run it and let it delete all of the "errors" it finds it will break Edge so that it no longer updates until you fix it manually with a reinstall of Edge

    Happened on 3 PCs before I figured out what was causing it.

    It can go bad but there have been times where it was necessary to resolve issues with software that had been uninstalled and left a mess behind. You have to use your own judgement and be prepared to deal with any issues. If it's not something you are comfortable with, by all means don't do it.

    been using it for a year, it's the safest of them all, just blindly accept all the findings and go!

    what I also like about it is how smart it is, for example, today I just uninstalled Start11 which is a start menu app for Windows 11, the installer automatically killed all processes including HiBit Uninstaller, then when it finished it prompted me to reboot so I did.

    After the reboot, I launched HiBit Uninstaller and it still detected that there were leftovers, and prompted me to delete them!
