Humbly submitting Chris Titus' Debloat tool as well for comparison. I've enjoyed using Chris' tool, as the GUI design makes it easy to a-la-carte select which you want removed and not, along with recommendations. Makes it very clear to see what's being removed.

It looks neat, but running off of his site directly via an administrator elevated powershell is an awful security practice.

That was an instant dealbreaker for me. Someone who pushes that can't be given basic trust for literally anything else.

At the very least, he could've hosted the script on github.com, which is far less likely to be hijacked than his personal domain.

He sells it wrapped in an EXE for $10. That provides incentive to not make things easy or follow any best practices.
