@Brie:

Which version of AVG, Free or paid?

In Data BackUp, You may also run manual backups of important data to cloud services.

In Privacy-focused Apps and Extensions... uBlock Origian + Nano AdBlocker? why??? :eek: also so many browsers extensions => overkill...

Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :)
 
Browsers and Extensions:
  • Emsisoft Browser Security vs Bitdefender TrafficLight: You don't need both extensions. Bitdefender's is more effective while Emsisoft's is more privacy conscious. Choose which one you prefer. Since you are on Chrome, Windows Defender Browser Protection is also an option to consider that is equally as effective compared to TrafficLight.
  • Nano Adblocker vs Nano Defender vs uBlock Origin: Choose between Nano Adblocker or uBlock Origin. I would lean towards uBlock Origin but the decision is yours. Nano Defender is an anti-adblock defuser that can be paired with either Nano Adblocker or uBlock Origin.
 
Maybe i'm wrong, but Nano adblocker is based on UBlock Origin? Well, i'm using SmartAdBlock, the memory usage is very little, compared to other adblockers. Its good adblocker for basic surfing and especially for computers with low memory. I also use good 'n old Disable HTML5 Autoplay for Chrome, which works really good.
