AI Analysis

●MidShip It

CCleaner alternative in PowerShell, but BleachBit already does this free.

Strengths

•Supports 28 browsers across three platforms with automatic browser detection built in.
•SQLite VACUUM compaction and automatic sqlite3 installation on Windows is thoughtful.
•Cross-platform scheduling via Task Scheduler, launchd, and cron handles automation well.

Weaknesses

•BleachBit exists as a mature, well-known open-source alternative with GUI and CLI.
•Zero stars, zero forks suggests no community traction or real-world validation yet.

Post Description

I'm an IT consultant. CCleaner was a good choice to speed up clients' web browsing experience. Unless you paid, it keeps vomiting ads for the product. Which made it a bad choice.

mTTCleaner does most of the same thing to clean most browsers by cleaning caches, compacting databases, and removing unnecessary metrics files.

It can create it's own cron job/scheduled task to run itself every month, if you choose.

It covers 28 browsers on 3 platforms, assuming you have PowerShell 7+.

Please file any bugs if you find them.

This isn't really going anywhere except to help internet users and my clients.

Hope it's helpful
