    MajorPrivacy version 0.98.2 introduces several powerful new features and critical stability improvements. This release adds a mechanism for detecting and restoring changes to Windows Firewall rules, helping users maintain consistent privacy configurations even when rules are modified externally. One of the major highlights is the introduction of a JavaScript engine that enables users to define advanced scripted rules, laying the groundwork for highly customizable privacy logic—though much of the scripting API is still under development and will be expanded in upcoming releases.

    A new summary page has been added, offering users a centralized view of their system’s privacy status. This page includes information about detected privacy issues, recent relevant events, and a comprehensive activity log. The notification system has also been refined for better usability and visual clarity.

    Under the hood, the project has been updated to the latest development toolchain, now using Visual Studio 2022 and Qt 6. Several important bugs have been resolved, including a blue screen issue related to the driver, problems with signature database management, and missing descriptions for tweaks in the user interface. Additionally, issues with loading volume rules have been addressed to improve overall reliability.

    There are two MajorPrivacy.ini files.

    One here:

    and another here:

    First one has the following lines:
    [Options]
    UiLanguage=en


    Why not putting those lines into the second ini file?
    I love neat. All things in order.

    Btw, MajorPrivacy looks promising, looks nice. I'm going to give it a second chance in my computer.
    Thank you.

    Also make it maximize and minimize by clicking the systray icon just one not twice like you did with Sandboxie.

    David, I use WFC (Windows Firewall Control) to manage WF. I do not plan to stop using it.
    Is there a way to disable MajorPrivacy's WF module?

    Two "typos" so to speak. The space between the words Major and Privacy:
