This free, open-source privacy tool adds font size adjustment (CTRL +/-), full-screen mode (F11), and critical reliability improvements.
Linux users gain pacman cache cleaning, snap package removal, and better KDE stability.
Windows users get fixes for update cleaning hangs and file wiping errors. The release includes 940 localization updates across 68 languages, adding Gaeilge and Sinhala support.
Key Fixes: Resolved Firefox 140+ database issues, debug logging problems, and subprocess errors.
Note: A renewed digital certificate may trigger temporary SmartScreen warnings.
Privacy Promise Unchanged: BleachBit maintains zero tracking, offline functionality, no background services, and complete customization—all without subscriptions or paywalls.
