Don’t you just hate it when you finally take a well-deserved break from designing all those masterpieces in Photoshop, fire up your favorite game… only to discover that everything lags like heck?
You open Task Manager, start digging, and surprise (not really a surprise)—it’s Photoshop, again, hogging your bandwidth all for itself.
block-adobe is a tiny Windows utility that scans your Program Files for Adobe applications and automatically adds them to your Windows Defender firewall rules. That means no more surprise background uploads, updates, or "helpful" Adobe chatter with the internet when you don’t want it.
Save your bandwidth for the things you care about—not for Adobe.
To build block-adobe on Windows, make sure you have Python 3.13 installed. Then open PowerShell and run:
> python -m venv .venv
> . .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
> pip install -r requirements.txt
> .\build.ps1
