SECURITY: Complete ErzCrz config 2021

[ErzCrz]

Ever the indecisive, experimenting again with Comodo and Chrome original. I think I missed chrome though I know chromium edge is safer in some ways. System just seems to be a more responsive. Nothing set in stone just trialing a few things out to keep my sanity while I'm furloughed.

Finished with that experiment and back to WD +H_C. Although some things loaded quicker in Chrome and the system felt more responsive it was using about the same resources when it came down to system load and in case of full screen games I noticed more lag hiccups or sound distortion with Comodo and Chrome.

Anyway, that was useful...

Switched to Thunderbird for email. Just a lot faster and more features. I was playing around with Firefox as I like the containers but with MD as my protection it's best using Chromium Edge.

I am noticing all new MD stuff going to 365 office subscribers which has me considering 3rd party options like BD free but what I have still works

I use Edge Chromium and Thunderbird and reviewing the exploit protection settings. What's the current good setting for both? There's a couple linked in and I want to ensure trouble free but better protected browsing/emailing.

Q&A - Maximum Anti-Exploit protection settings for your program

Anyone play more with settings for Chromium-Edge ? here also another good thread about: https://malwaretips.com/threads/guide-to-tweak-of-built-in-exploit-protection-in-windows-security.97768/

I'm also reviewing my ublock setup. Finding the odd page freezing or scrolling not working from time to time.

You can use my setup without hassle

Thanks, was just looking at yours and commented

Looked at enabling memory integrity but I've got a few incompatible drivers.

This laptop did upgrade from Win 8 to 10 years ago and it being an older machine, no newer drivers available so far in my searches. /shrug

OneDrive backup of documents weekly.

Why not always-on-sync?

A fresh Windows installation should fix that.

Seems to slow down my machine and tries to re-upload some 3 gig of photos. Looking at fresh install options.

Been playing around with Comodo, FF and Thunderbird email client but as usual, back to my normal setup with a few changes.

Minor changes:

06.04.2021 - Back to Windows Mail, @SecurityNightmares Maximum Exploit settings enabled. MD running in it's own Sandbox, Controlled Folder Access enabled. Removed BD Traffic Light and using HTTPS Everywhere in Strict mode.

Thinking about using ClearURLs again at some point.
