Cons
Con Uninstaller function limited
CCleaner does not clean up leftover files after an application's uninstaller has been run, nor can it handle uninstalling applications that do not have an uninstaller.
Con Can't uninstall or detect program without uninstaller
No difference to windows uninstaller. Can't uninstall program with no uninstaller and doesn't even aware of their existance.
Con Bad
Takes up too much ram and CPU, and not a good cleaner anyway.
Con Cannot use with VPN
Because Blokada works by using an internal VPN to act as a filter, it is not possible to use Blokada if you're using an actual VPN.
