Basic Security DJ Panda's 2019 Security Config

[DJ Panda]

Hey realized I haven't updated my config for 2018. I honestly should spend more time here again. I will probably move my Emsisoft license to my currently (new) computer at some point. Really out of ideas on what to add for better privacy. Usually when I add things it tanks my internet. (I like streaming ESPN a lot ) I need some image backuper but space can be an issue. Usually all my files are on multiple clouds and backup drives, and majority of my files aren't really important, so if anything goes wrong I just wipe the thing.

Nice config, thanks for sharing

Good personal data backup policy, with regard to OS images, I understand you and you could use an external HDD for space reasons.
You can wipe the Windows partition when needed but the problem is to download all the updates again and reinstall all your apps, great loss of time.
An updated OS image is immediately ready for operation.

A Disk Imaging Backup solution would be interesting: Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper, both are free and reliable.

Also some tools for Web Privacy and PassWord Manager.

Thanks for sharing

Add uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere.

Follow suggestions about backups.

Thanks for sharing.

I think you should start using a password manager and an ad-blocker. Nice configuration I like your sync options.

Alright cool thanks for suggestions!

Added

UBlock Origin to all my browsers
Macrium Reflect 7 Free (Made a backup and set to regularly make them.)
Avast Passwords (Password Manager)

Avast Passwords (Password Manager)

Had a bad experience with Avast Password Manager. I lost all my passwords (but thankfully I was using Sticky Password too). That was long time ago. It might have improved.

Updated for 2019! Might need some suggestions in terms of system cleanup, system backups, password management, ect. Got a new laptop so using WD + tweaked settings atm. Renewed my Emsisoft license but haven't switched yet.

My suggestions:

Image System BackUp: Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.
System Clean-up: Wise Care 365 Free
PassWord Manager: KeyPass 2

Added: Macrium Reflect, Sandboxie, and Wise Care 365
