Since calibre is open source, accusations of spyware should be backed up with links to the source. Spreading FUD about a widely used bit of open source software is not helpful.

Previous suggestions were deleted. I have left this one since it has had comments.

Any further accusations of spyware should be backed up by links to the source code.

Personally, I do not believe that these is any such code in calibre.

If there is something happening with calibre that you do not understand why it's doing this. Ask about it. Don't just accuse calibre of adding spyware to your system.

Given what camoufox is, what does the Start Menu shortcut do?

If a news recipe or metadata downloader that needs camoufox is invoked from Windows portable, where does camoufox get installed?

I loathe screen scraping, that's why I avoid it like the plague.

The start menu shortcut launches camoufox which is what I expected it to do. For most of what I do, it doesn't add much value but then I'm not that concerned with hiding my activities. For automated tasks, it's ability to hide the automation can be useful.

As far as I can tell, the portable version of camoufox installed in Calibre Portable/Calibre/dbin/camoufox.

This should take care of camoufox creating that shortcut: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...db87d9c8038aca
