Only thing I can state is set UAC to Always Notify!

Thanks for sharing. Basics are covered.

I know but a lot of request: UAC, VS and maybe Comodo tell me something when I install a program, then only for peace of mind I set UAC at default, but I relly have confidence with CF and VS. Thank you!

EDIT: after a quick two days test, I can remove uBlock and replace it with uMatrix in all browsers. uMatrix isn't so complicate like at first sight and It's very very powerful and informative.

That's correct, however uMatrix doesn't do cosmetic filtering and uBlock does. When I used them together I used uBlock at default settings just for the cosmetic filtering and uMatrix for its advanced blocking capabilities.

I see after short term use uMatrix break less website even if it have no cometic filter, I don't know why but is true for firefox for windows and linux (for chromium too).

Nice trick. I'll have to give it a try again.I had uMatrix for a very short time, not really enough to learn it properly - especially since I have to learn by trial & error. (y) Then maybe I could ditch some other extensions.
