How to Remove the Joomla Meta Tag Generator

I guess most of you must have been pretty annoyed with the following tag generated on Joomla based websites.

If you entirely want to remove this code, you can do that by editing the file called frontend.php inside the includes folder of your Joomla website and commenting out the following line

$mainframe->addMetaTag( 'Generator', $_VERSION->PRODUCT . " - " .$_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);

But in case if you want to customize the meta tag, you can add the following modification to it.

$mainframe->addMetaTag( 'Custom text here', 'and some more text here');

I hope this helped anyone who wants to customize their Joomla meta tag. Cheers!
