I've used Revo Uninstaller free for awhile.  I even paid for it, but it
became subscriptionware ($25 for 1 year), and eventually I got
proficient at removing remnant registry entries and files to do the same
effort.  While the free version works well for common programs, the
payware version includes a bigger database that records the changes (and
what to undo) for more in-depth eradication.  Eventually it really
didn't do more than I could do.  After a year for the Pro version, you
get nagged the license expired, but the Pro version continues to work as
a Pro version (no crippling), but with no updates.

If you use the aggressive mode to uninstall, you assume the role of a
sysadmin, and must know which registry entries are for the program,
which are merely referenced by other programs, and which are dependent
or independent of other registry entries.  Same for removing the remnant
files.

There is a free vs paid comparison there.  The feature to remove browser
plug-ins is pretty defunct for many years.
