Hello (again) Hudson.
Your configuration has everything I like, including your preferred browsers plus Windows 10! In the OS department I am playing catch up, although you've added one more member's example of why I mustn't wait very much longer.;)

Another Chromium sourced browser you may like to try is called Vivaldi. Read more about it here: A New Web Browser for Our Friends

To activate the third party cookie blocker in your Chomium browsers:
  1. Click the Chrome menu
    tgmsrPRh34tM4q0WYv7l-NNXDz7dqm7ftk8TyCEguoY30xkEg8lcw_ULI23ki9Q=w18-h18
    on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click Show advanced settings.
  4. In the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button. Select "Block third-party cookies and site data"
    • After this you'll see
      chrome_95647_blocked_cookie.gif
      in the address bar whenever a cookie is being blocked.
    • Optionally, you may also mark the circle "Keep site data only until you close the browser".
Thank you for sharing your configuration, and hope to see your continued activity on this terrific site!:)

Safe config. Why do you list both ADGUARD and uBlock? Do you use one over the other depending on the browser? Thanks for sharing.
Yes, i use ublock for chrome and adguard for slimjet. I dont know why i do that....just testing 2 programs to see if they behave differently



Thank you all for your welcomed input. One thing I have been considering is adding AppGuard to my config.
Would that be a worthwhile addition?
