I've used this configuration for a very long time. The only thing I did change was the web browser, and that's it. I jumped from Chrome, to the Brave and at last to the Firefox where I'll stay permanently, I think.

It gives me more control over blocking and I can manually fix if something isn't working right. I can't do that on Brave's built-in ad blocker because it's made to be simple to use. What's weird, Brave's ad blocker is probably more capable than uBlock Origin because it's built-in the browser, but at the same time it's poor with the options so you can't do half what you can with uBO.
That seems weird to me as well because my password is strong. Windows Hello is unavailable on my laptop, so it's either password or a PIN. But I find PIN less secure than strong password, so that's why I'm not using it.Insecure Password on Windows?

AMD Ryzen™ 7 7745HX does have TPM chip as built in. Just enable fTpm in bios setting and you will have "windows hello".

Yeah, I'm using local account as well. I have no plans to use Microsoft account in Windows.

Same with my Dell 2:1 notebook, not compatible. But of course with my Surface 5 laptop, it is compatible, along with 1Password, which switches from Hello login, to my created password, to the Windows login pin. It's in the settings of what and when it uses these options.
