Thanks for your advices.
CF is sufficient for the use I make of.
The CS settings are effective and for me I don't need no extensions I think
With Chrome contained partially limited my PC is never infected...so why add extensions?

Chrome is not be the best choice .What's your opinion?

Thank you
Merci beaucoup

If you use chrome without extensions, you can actually use adguard dns to block ads, or some browser with built in adblocker; brave or opera if you dont want to add them

This spoiler should help you on track with how a setup should be alongside good computing habits.

LDoggs recommended advice.

1. Make sure everything is on auto-update. This should include your AV, system utilities & web browser as important focal points.
This also includes but not limited to Microsoft Office, web browser extension(s)/plugins & more
2. Use an AV w/ on demand scanners. I would recommend Windows Defender for the normal home user, or if you are not confident enough you could use something stronger such as Kaspersky Free or Sophos Home Free.
With on demand scanners I would suggest to use Zemana Anti-Malware Free & Emsisoft Emergency Kit.
3. Make sure your passwords are not easily guessable. Make sure they're strong. Alpha-numerical always helps. You can also use a Password Manager such as Keepass or Lastpass.
4. Encrypt everything (optional). Use something like Veracrypt if you wish to encrypt data for security purposes. This is to prevent any thief that's stolen your device(s) from gaining access to critical data.
5. Never ever leave your computer unattended ANYWHERE. Always make sure it's in sight or with you at all times. You never know who might be trying to gain access or steal it.
6. Always look at the URLs of emails which are sent to you. Websites will never ask for you personal details in emails. Never open emails attachments from recipients you do not know or trust. Always look at the spellings of emails too. Professional companies do not tend to have back punctuation & spelling.
7. Browsing habits, always look at the URL before you enter a site. If it looks dodgy or something doesn't look right it most likely isn't. eg; paypail.com, instead of paypal.com
8. Backup is essential to any security setup. Make sure to back up all important & personal data. This can be done weekly or monthly
9. Be careful when downloading software. Most adblocking extension stop this from adverts.
10. Never ever use pirate software or download from pirate sites, 9/10 it'll be virus infected.
11. Never install or download anything you aren't looking for.
12. Extensions I would recommend for real time protection: Netcraft + Malwarebytes
13. Nano Adblocker or uBlock Origin are amazing adblocking extensions
14. Always bookmark legitimate sites you frequently use especially banking sites. This helps you to stop falling prey to the fake & rogue sites
posing as the authentic one.

Why is this security config rated as a moderate risk?
Bushman has a default /deny setup (CFW @ CS settings), I assume that Windows Defender is working in the background since he is on Windows 10, he says he has a system image backup plan in place, he uses a secure browser, he has other security measures going for him -- I don't get it. What's missing over here? Pourquoi?

They haven't bloated their setup with on-demand scanners, a very specific disk imaging/backup software, or browser extensions yet.

I've no problem I think with my security config With the CS settings on CFW .
With chrome partially restricted i've no more Tracking cookie and moreover downloads placed in a special folder VTRoot.
For me since I use CFW CS Settings instead of other classical antimalwares my OS is fatest and I think more proactive on the unknown IT risks
