island VS ShellNewHandler

• Privacy Enhancement
  Island allows users to separate applications and data into different profiles, enhancing privacy by limiting data access for certain applications.
• App Isolation
  By isolating apps into different profiles, users can prevent apps from interacting with each other, which can improve security and reduce the risk of data leaks.
• Multiple Accounts
  Island allows users to run multiple instances of the same app, which is beneficial for managing multiple accounts within the same application.
• Resource Management
  By using work profiles, Island can help manage and allocate device resources more efficiently, potentially leading to a better overall performance.
• Ad Blocking
  With Island, users can install app clones where ads and trackers are restricted or blocked, reducing ad exposure and tracking.

Possible disadvantages

• Complex Setup
  Setting up and configuring Island may be complex for some users, especially those unfamiliar with Android's work profile system.
• Compatibility Issues
  Some apps may not work correctly within Island due to restrictions imposed in the isolated environment.
• Limited Features
  Certain features of apps may be limited or unavailable when running in the isolated space due to restricted system access.
• Increased Battery Usage
  Running multiple app instances can lead to increased battery usage, as more resources are consumed.
• Potential Data Loss
  Improper management or understanding of Island's features could lead to data loss if apps or data are accidentally deleted or mismanaged.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
