Basic Security Marac's new security configuration

[Marac]

I improved it a lot. I have installed Comodo Firewall with cruelsister settings. I also installed some new extensions and added Aomei Backupper.

I think you dont need privacy badger or no coin with right ublock filterlists, waiting some advanced user to post their opinions

@Marac: please kindly don't create a new configuration thread, next time please edit the previous one with the new changes, and announce them in a post, thanks

First thing which is important:
- Set UAC to always notify

Things to add or you could add:

• Change default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo, Startpage or searx.me
• Add Zemana Anti Malware & Emsisoft Emergency Kit as second opinion scanners
• Change Privacy Badger to Privacy Possum
• Use these Chrome extensions: Scriptsafe & Decentraleyes

As you're using Windows Defender you could add VoodooShield & OSArmor to your config. The best setup I've found thus far.

Thanks for sharing.

+1! I would also add: @Andy Ful's ConfigureDefender which allows you to take full advantage of WD. Note that if you do you will want to deactivate Controlled Folder Access since CF serves same purpose. Switch out uBO for Nano Adblocker and use in Advanced User Mode (Block 3rd Party Scripts & Frames) - and you could add a couple of filters like Steven Black's Host List in case a site breaks. If you can't un-break in AUM you may then change to default. Nano Adblocker is based on uBO but more developed > stronger. If Oldschool can do it, anyone can do it! Also, have you tried Edge? I like it more and more myself.
