In fact testing is good. I just realized on Brave mobile while looking into something that I had accidentally turned off ad and tracker blocking while scrolling earlier today. All because I wanted to test something.

Not yet, I’m on iOS so I’m waiting patiently to check it out. If it works well then it’s definitely a FF replacement for my uses.

Added: VoodooShield. It's tried and true.
Added: LocalCDN --> it handles more CDNs than Decentraleyes. I found this especially helpful on shopping sites and surfing the unkown. (200 resource injections in first day of use.) It complements Brave adblock well and is even more effective on Firefox.

Windows Defender network inspection service fails to start
Yes, but not only for using Defender. I suggest disabling Memory Integrity protection for general compatibility or using it as an experimental feature with the assumption that it can occasionally break something. I think that Memory Integrity was preventing me from running a chkdsk /r, which...

4.18.2008.9 is what I have, and Network Inspec. Serv. is running with Memory Integrity enabled.

Edit: I’m on 4.18.2008.9, South Park’s fix worked. Thanks friend.

I've gone over to the Dark Side --> running a trial of AVG Internet Security.

AVG is great but when I install it my DNS changes to “Active DNS” according to Next DNS Dashboard. The system does not respect my DNS settings when AVG is installed.I've gone over to the Dark Side --> running a trial of AVG Internet Security.

This started to happen when AVG fixed an issue that caused AVG activation and account log in wizard for connecting to the internet. On Next DNS dashboard, the status keeps changing from Next DNS to Active DNS infinitely. This does not happen on devices running Kaspersky or Malwarebtes or McAfee.

No problem here. The only bugs I've found so far are:
- GUI fails to launch after install
- GUI home page fails to show last update correctly

That’s weird. Maybe the issue is related to network scanner? I do not know. I am not using AVG on my main device now, so I can not check whether the issue is fixed or not. Maybe it was a temporary fix for the activation issue. Regarding the issue you are having with the GUI, I had it months ago and was able to fix it by running a programme repair. I do confirm the second bug regarding showing the latest update. Anyway, in my experience with AVG, it is better and safer to download the offline installer.

Only initial launch failed. Thanks for the tip about offline installer.

on Brave Browser you use default filter list to block ads or you have added custom filters?

Before Avast’s acquisition, AVG never suffered from such bugs, but let’s be honest that Avast also improved parts of AVG.Only initial launch failed. Thanks for the tip about offline installer.

What's your initial impression? How does it affect system performance, and why did you choose AVG?I've gone over to the Dark Side --> running a trial of AVG Internet Security.
