BleachBit 4.0.0 has been released, finally adding support for Python 3. The new version also adds a Discord cleaner, improves the Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera cleaners, brings packages for Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed, and more.
BleachBit is a free and open source system cleaner with extra privacy options for shredding files and wiping free disk space. The application, which runs on Windows and Linux, can remove the web cache, cookies, URL history, temporary files and log files for web browsers like Firefox, Google Chrome / Chromium, Opera, Safari, etc., and remove the cache and temporary files for many commonly used applications.
The tool can also be used to remove unused localization (language) files in order to free up disk space.
With version 2.3, it also includes a feature called chaff (choose Make Chaff from its APpMenu) that allows BleachBit to create files to confuse digital forensics, making the application even better at protecting private data.
For its user interface, BleachBit uses GTK+3, to which it switched back in October 2019, with header bars, and it supports both dark and light themes.
