Welcome to my config, feel free to like, comment and give constructed feedback on changes you think I need to make! Hope you enjoy this read. Yes, I am back, this is not a mirage or anything, I'm also 3 years cancer-free, and everything is well in life too, I even have a daughter now.

Great to see you back and in good health again (y)

About your config: is Bitdefender TrafficLight really needed with Kaspersky Cloud Free 2022 that has it's own extension?
