PB is gone from FF. I went back to Privacy Possum in Edge because it does more even if its "noise-y". Brave is just µBO & ClearURLs.

I see. PB isn't bringing much to my Firefox either so I might get rid of it as well. Let us know if you make more changes

I've been reading up more on tracking/privacy lately and now I'm digging into Trace on Edge to see what its many features offer. Experimenting with different extensions is more than fun, it's a learning experience about browser processes, etc.

Yes it's a good one. I've it installed in my Brave. Some of the thing it does can be done in Firefox via about:config changes but it's a lot more useful for chromium based browsersI've been reading up more on tracking/privacy lately and now I'm digging into Trace on Edge to see what its many features offer.

You can do some tests to check if your browsers have sufficient privacy protection.
I personally am also to limit the insecure cipher suites as much as possible, with a browser link on the desk.
If then some website doesn't open I can always start the browser from Start ......

Man. It's so frustrating. Firefox's WebExtensions are supposed to prevent yourself from breaking/slowing down your browser and doing an oopsie yourself but some addons still do seem to affect Firefox's performance.

Our oldschool is not just hot he's the hottest
Well, at least this is what my wife says!It broke a couple of sites that require logins and I couldn't find a fix. I like simple solutions when available.

Some time ago I did a test with Trace.
I don't know if the extension no longer presents that problem but I didn't like it:
No Trace

Hi, oldschool! Do not use an additional program for system backup? I was told here that the utilities built into the system are not enough for this You need either Macrium Free or AOMEI Backupper Standard. Just in case

To this point. I had no problem using built in backup until I wanted to do a restore and it failed spectacularly and I had to do a fresh install. I though it was working fine, but it apparently wasn’t? I’ve had lots of success with Macrium. Also, I just wanted to participate in this HOT thread.Hi, oldschool!

Sometimes there is no best answer, my friend. I’ve no experience with either myself, but heard mostly positive things about both. It’s probably one of those just pick one situations if there’s no single feature drawing you in. I’d go with BackUpper based on its similarity to Macrium.

Light and streamlined configuration. Not suitable for everyone, but in the right hands it's perfect.

AOMEI Backapper Standard is a good program. I tested it, I restored the system from the image in 10 minutes, approximately.

I have Voodoshield free installed only because I regularly download samples and I fear what if I accidentally execute a sample that is not detected by WD yet, then my system would get infected.Removed VoodooShield to take up the Windows Defender only challenge. 1 year, WD only.

Otherwise in WD we trust
