Good configuration You can add HTTPS Everywhere for your browsers.
For Firefox based browser, I can recommend you Cyberfox Browser which I am using now.
This browser separately optimized for AMD and Intel processors, you can see the Intel one in the pic. Cyberfox also create x86 bit browsers both AMD and Intel.

Thank you for sharing your configuration, Pandy. I liked (imho) your essential extensions, scanners, and the CCleaner you've brought together; and Cyberfox has become the main Mozilla sourced browser on our own Windows 8.1 system too!

In Chrome, let's block 3rd party cookies.

1. From Settings scroll to the bottom >> Show Advanced settings...
2. Under Privacy choose >> Content Settings... >> Cookies >> There, mark the box "Block third party cookies & site data"

• Additionally, mark the circle "Keep local data only until you quit browser"

*Optional for added privacy: Browse using "Incognito", but remember, in extensions, to check the boxes in order to allow extensions you wish to use in incognito.

If you utilize 360 TS's sandbox feature you might find the following thread of interest.

An optional free sandboxing app is called sandboxie.

You've a very good configuration I can admire. Congratulations for successfully reinstalling Windows too!

Thanks, Im gonna look into the TS's sandbox feature later, i will also disable cookies.
I dont really use incognito mode much, but when i do i dont need extensions, but thanks for suggesting that.
IM also going to be setting up Virtual machine stuff to test malware, So i will also skip sandboxie for now

But yea, This was actually my 2nd reinstall, As i failed something the first time and i couldnt install .net 3.5
(Had some access is denied, but i thought it was bcause i kinda got mad and turned off my comp mid installing updates on W-Update )
But now its working great xD

Other than a back up solution it looks good!! 360 TS has a sandbox also,I believe.
I think you have everything covered on a fresh install. I wouldn't add anything more to it.
Nice config!!! Thanks for sharing it
