What do you guys think of my security configuration, I made it as lite as possible.

I recommend the following extensions for your browser : LastPass , ublock , Ghostery and https everywhere . They enhance your online security and privacy.

It would also be advisable one second browser like Chrome have would be interesting one based on Firefox. Cyberfox is my favorite.

Ccleaner also accompany with PrivaZer , you will have your system in top condition.

I really like your config . thanks for sharing :)

Nice configuration!

Optional suggestion: More backup, much better; try to use cloud storage and upload any none sensitive information files and make system image to restore any changes without problems.

EMET, tho it does provide additional security, it depends what you use your system to. If its casual browsing etc with some gaming, EMET becomes a bit irrelevant in a way.

Don't think Ghostery is really needed to be honest. I stopped using it for a long time.
