We replaced #balenaEtcher with #Rufus in our installation instructions for #Windows to solve privacy concerns with balenaEtcher.

Since January 2019, we had been recommending balenaEtcher to install #Tails from Windows and macOS. We loved the simplicity of balenaEtcher, which was really easier to use and worked on macOS as well.

Shortly after, balenaEtcher started displaying ads. Although we didn't like that, we initially didn't view it as a significant privacy risk and had no better alternative at the time.
