Have your tried search.brave.com?

Thanks, I'll have a look

P.S. Currenty reviewing anti-exploit tweaks. I stopped customizing that a little while ago and went back to default. What are you using these days?

I think I'm back at defaults for no reason in particular, or maybe I was troubleshooting something. I forget! But then again, I'm using built-in & Privacy Badger in Edge and compartmentalizing browsers.

@ErzCrz I checked and here is what I'm using for exploit protection in Edge, except without Code Integrity Guard: SECURITY: Complete - oldschool's 2020 laptop setup

Thanks mate.

Thank former member @Umbra too. I am only a humble plagiarizer!

Indeed Umbra was great when he was around. I liked his alternative Comodo approach as well MT has so many great users

I still find myself slipping back to Comodo, Firefox Thunderbird combo. So decided to do some analysis. Thunderbird is compatible with H_C so that's fine as I prefer that for emails. Just faster and more secure than Windows 10. I think it's down to Edge bing search I'm not a fan of so I guess I should experiment with changing that.

The other thing is some slow system at times but not sure if that's down to system updates or running WD in it's own sandbox. It's probably fine for newer machines but at the end of the day I have an old laptop with a 4th generation i3 chip. I just can't afford a upgrade at the moment and what I would get around the £400-500 price mark isn't a great deal better than what I have. /Shrug, maybe after Christmas.

So more tweaking to be done and try WD again without running in it's own sandbox.

Also try running WD at default settings and check if it improves anything.

I'm sticking with Windows 10 mail. Thunderbird crashing when I go into preferences i TB. I was just experimenting a little with CIS and still had it installed but had same issue when CIS was disabled. Anyway, Win 10 Mail does enough for me really and I can still move things to folders etc.

Anyway, just more evidence that 3rd party isn't always the best solution.

An alternative could be eM Client:

eM Client - Email Client and Calendar Software for Windows and Mac

This free email client should be installed on your desktop. eM Client is just great.

Thanks, might look at that one at some point.

As predicted.. one day I'll upgrade this old laptop.

Have you ever considered turning your email address into a PWA? In Chromium all you have to do is create a shortcut and choose window. It's incredible.

Interesting thought.
On running the Health check it's the processor and TPM that fails but I think I'll push for a new one in the new year.
