My security config for 2021/2022. Probably people will hate me for using Cylance, but it's working well for me at the moment. The false positives aren't that bad anymore and its really light on my system.

Food for thought: add VoodooShield.Probably people will hate me for using Cylance, but it's working well for me at the moment.
Thanks for the recommendation. Didn't check out VoodooShield for a while now, Imma try it for a while and update the config if I decide to keep it.Food for thought: add VoodooShield.
Deleted.About the Honey extension, please read this:
Original Blog post:
MalwareTips discusssion:What would you risk for free Honey?
The Honey browser extension allows its server to run arbitrary code on any website, via at least four different mechanisms and obfuscating the code being loaded.palant.info
Q&A - Honey: a privacy & security madness extension
This nice blog post is about the Honey extension and display the security and privacy problems with it: https://palant.info/2020/10/28/what-would-you-risk-for-free-honey/ The post is very long but detailed so I don't quote it here.malwaretips.com
Totally understandable, but Cylance is really light and works well for me at the moment. I also ditched most Iobit products but the Software Updater is the only not bloated software by iobit. Also I'm not using Iobit Uninstaller, I'm using HiBit Uninstaller. Thanks for your tips, might remove Iobit Software Updater in the future as there are better software updaters anyway.Well, the only cons i've seen is Cylance and a iObit software (iObit Uninstaller), I don't find iObit products too trustworthy after the Malwarebytes incident. Anyways it looks good
Accidentally wrote uninstaller instead of software updater, and if Cylance is working good for you without problems, i don't see any problems on keeping it right nowTotally understandable, but Cylance is really light and works well for me at the moment.

True, it's pretty good in what its supposed to do. The problem for me was always the ads and unnecessary tools that are included.Real Nice Configuration, but some of the Config I am not technically good enough to fully understand, but thanks.
But I don't share the opinion about IObit software, IMHO Driver Booster is pretty good considering...
Yup, a good starting list of about:config tweaks for FF from Privacytools below+ added most about:config tweaks from Privacytools
- replaced IObit Software Updater with SUMo
My tests showed that BTL blocks more than pishing URLs. I suggest you test MBG and BTL here AMTSO Security Features Check Tools | AMTSO+ added Malwarebytes Browser Guard (testing)
Thanks for sharing that testing site, was looking for this one for a long time, as the one I used shut down. The reason I use MBG is the aggressiveness and the way it's blocking infecting content. It also seems to have some kind of behavioural web protection which you can see here:My tests showed that BTL blocks more than pishing URLs.

You'll notice that BTL blocks the download of malicious files.
