Bloatware (or crapware) is a collective term for software applications that are present on a computer or mobile device without being asked. These applications are already included somewhere in the operating system at the time of purchase. For example, consider a trial version of antivirus software that is only valid for one month. In this case, the developer concludes a deal with the laptop manufacturer and tries to attract new customers in this way. Other well-known examples of bloatware are toolbars in browsers and programs that continuously display advertisements. In addition, a manufacturer of a laptop, tablet or smartphone usually also supplies all kinds of its own software. You don’t need bloatware and it is detrimental to system performance. Therefore, remove these applications from Windows, Android and (to a lesser extent) iOS.

After launching, the app will ask for full root access. Unfortunately, it is not ideal for security reasons to give an app root permissions. Careless use can damage the operating system. |
