In addition to the list, my opsec is to keep the lowest attack surface possible. As any other privacy nerd knows, your privacy is only as good as your security.

In addition to what was filled out, I use:

• OpenHashTab (check to make sure files are legit)
• Fawkes (anti-AI algorithms for personal photos online)
• Technitium MAC Addrses Changer
• nmap
• Libre Hardware Monitor
• Exiftool (clean metadata)
• System Informer
• sdelete (securely delete)
• FreeFileSync
• Everything Search

Libre Hardware Monitor

I recommend TrafficMonitor; it is based on LibreHardwareMonitor, with extra nice features.

I want to thank you for developing Minimal Firewall, but I have a question, why open-source software developers prefer MSI installers over EXE?

I'm not sure, it's just an afterthought for me, since I always go with portable when I have a choice. MSI is supposed to be more standardized, so less error prone for Windows-specific applications. They are also created with one click in Visual Studio.
