Hey guys! For security reasons (and others), I don't use Windows, so I cannot test that. -- @Izzy, you wanna tell more about others here.

@Firelord Not enough space in a comment box. And you know, "this is not a forum" :)

You've already noticed I'm not the big MS fan (I just say "light and fresh air" ;) – but here the "for security reasons" was at least part playing at the OP's text in the question ;)

As for the "others": I'm an open source guy, so I prefer open source. All my software is open source (I mean those I write, check e.g. my Github profile).

@Izzy That's good actually. However, I always have this question and I think I should ask you: what do you mean by open-source when you say Open-source and when other normal users says open-source. FOSS is really different from what people say open-source! I've a nice example of an open-source app (I'll tell you after you answer me :) which claims to be open yet restricts like proprietary ones.

"open source" per se means: you get the sources. So you can 1) check what's really in the box, 2) adjust it to your needs, and 3) even continue updating it in case the original dev stopped maintaining it (i.e. you can "fork" it, to speak in Git/Github terms). FOSS just adds the "Free" to it. And that's what my stuff is: Free and open source.

@Izzy I kinda disagree at 2) because open-source is very vague term. The "free" of FOSS makes all the difference here. It gives you unrestricted freedom to do anything with the code and the compiled binary after it, including "redistribution" (provided that it will always remain copy-left). Take this case, Ghostery allows you see the code from the perspective of reviewing it, but you can't do anything with that code as per this agreement.

Yet, it can always claim that the software is open-source

And thus should not hide any backdoors at least. I agree the F is an important part here (it is to me) – but still partly disagree on "absolute freedom" when it comes to "I make money of your work" :)

@Izzy Well at least now I'm clear what you consider open-source. :) And yeah, about this question, other than the highlighted question in body and the title, the rest of the part seems fine and I asked (suggested in comments) OP to make amendments. But I was wondering, is it allowed by community here for a 2k+ user to correct the question in a way it can be made on-topic. In this case, <10 words are needed to make it on-topic.

This is a dilemma for me.

@Firelord Yeah, I was tempted as well (and you see what such questions lead to: 1 liners with a link), but it looked too fixed on an app solution. But we must admit there's probably no "native solution" anyway ;)
