Had to do my pc security configuration thread over because of new website layout:cry:

Using Playing with Windows Defender Exploit protection for Chrome and Edge for WDEG system overrides chrome and edge. thank you Windows_Security for the settings.

Using Clonezilla for system image backup, no need for Macrium or Aomei, I can restore a 30GB system image in 3 minutes 50 seconds.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Why so many filters in AdGuard that are almost duplicates from each other?
AdGuards English Filter = a cleaned up version of Easylist
Adguards Spyware Filter = a cleaned up version of Easy Privacy
Adguards Annoyances Filter = a cleaned up version of Fanboy's Annoyances.
However Fanboy's Annoyances Filter blocks a lot more, so I can understand that choice.
With adblocking less is more (speed), less change of anti adblock scripts detecting you and less change of sites not working like they should.

I think you have the right filters now (y)
I myself only have 1 other filter, the Dutch filter, because I visit a lot of Dutch sites, being Dutch ;)Adguard filters.JPG
