Audacity was the first one I thought of.
Or MultiMC, PolyMC, the Sodium mod, or the original Minecraft Forge.
(Minecraft community devs need to stop having drama lmao)
Wait, what happened to Audacity?
I believe they were bought by someone and eventually implemented some questionable practices. I don't remember the exact details, maybe someone else does.
I remember reading an update which said that the company went back on most (or all?) the negative changes and it's ok to use again.
I didn't confirm it myself, but that's part of why the alternatives aren't seeing as much development now
It was opt-out telemetry IIRC
Wasnt it something about data collection?
It was, the company that bought out Audacity added a bunch of telemetry to it
Any good alternatives?
AFAIK everything was dropped in the end, and people went back to using audacity
I have used this as a drop-in replacement, with no complaints.
