F-Secure Freedom seems like a good VPN? For some reason no one mentioned it here.

Ooops, I messed up the thread Sry ))

Moved back to Firefox (since a month ago, forgot to update).
Changed to Cloudflare DNS since quad 9 is too slow.

 

[MrBananaxx]

Moved back to Edge, added ConfigureDefender, set it to the High preset.

Updated to 22H2, did some cleanup.

 

[MrBananaxx]

Clean installed 22H2, changed for quad9, enabled two policies in Edge, trying Startpage.
Also any way i can remove that:

hi,

since you have ublock origin, try right click > block element and click on that annoyance.

Also make sure you have disabled promotional messages in Startpage settings.

I just did and it removes it, so I removed the ublock filter. Thanks!

SAC turned itself off, changed to NextDNS as Quad9 was slow.

NextDNS:

1. Security tab -> Everything on
2. AI-Driven Threat Detection -> Off
3. Block Top-Level Domains -> Off
4. Blocklist -> HaGeZi - Multi LIGHT

Did you receive a notification for that change, or you discovered that by yourself?

I wish MS would provide a better description of SAC options, including the user option to enable SAC manually. A small blurb instead of just the "Learn more" link would be great.

No they prefer to do pointless thing like that:

Gone back to Firefox , removed Bitlocker for now, it's annoying when you need to troubleshoot something.
