Brave Purifier v1.1

What's New in v1.1

• ImportSearchEngine debloat option removed.
• Default browser prompt now appears first, before debloat options.

• Associative array debloat logic for robust, error-free configuration
• Improved error handling and clear exit codes
• Valid JSON policy generation (no trailing commas)
• Retry logic for apt update for network reliability
• Expanded telemetry cleanup
