Changes-
Malwarebytes ad blocking and Privacy badger. I already had malwarebytes for web filtering, so this way I can block youtube ads, just like my desktop.

Bitdefender IS, when my subscription runs out going to just run Microsoft Defender. My curiosity for third party vendors has faded. I'd rather spend my free time doing something else than troubleshooting AVs.
