      <description>Why this blog exists, and what you can expect to find here.</description>
      <category>news</category>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome! This is the new home for news and notes from <a href="https://cleanthis.io/">cleanthis.io</a> — the free tool that cleans files of hidden threats and metadata, checks webpages before you trust them, and now rides along in your browser as an <a href="https://cleanthis.io/download.html">extension</a>.</p>
<h2>What this blog is for</h2>
<p>A few kinds of posts will show up here:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Product news</strong> — new features, new supported file types, and improvements worth knowing about, explained in plain language.</li>
<li><strong>Plain-English security notes</strong> — what actually hides inside everyday files, how scam pages give themselves away, and simple habits that keep you out of trouble. No jargon, no fearmongering.</li>
<li><strong>Behind the scenes</strong> — the occasional look at how we build and test things, when there&#39;s a story worth telling.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The same rules as the site</h2>
<p>cleanthis.io runs with no tracking, no ads, and no sign-up required — and this blog follows the same rules. There are no analytics scripts here, no cookies, nothing watching you read. If you want to follow along, the <a href="/feed.xml">RSS feed</a> is the way; your feed reader checks us, we never check you.</p>
<p>That&#39;s it for the introduction. If you haven&#39;t tried the tools yet, <a href="https://cleanthis.io/">clean a file</a> or <a href="https://cleanthis.io/webpage-scanner.html">check a link</a> — both free, both instant. See you in the next post.</p>
