[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 841790, member: 82776"] Sorry, yes should have been more specific. For URL-blocking and download protection I use a) QUAD9 DNS b) Windows Defender Network protection c) Windows Defender SmartScreen d) Bitdefender Traffic Light extension For advertisement and tracking protection I use a) Set Edge-chromium tracking protection to strict b) Build-in Chromium Ad-blocking (and popup) blocking enabled c) Privacy Badger (set to show trackers who don't appear to follow me) Additional I have tweakes Edge-chromium to a) Block javascript, set an allow rule for File:///* and HTTPS://* b) Enabled experimental flag: #treat-unsafe-downloads-as-active-content As now inactive user Windows_Security always made clear: look at VX-vault 90% of the malware comes from from HTTP websites, so disabling executable content download and javascript on these websites reduces the attack surface substantially. I can only speak for the Netherlands, but sicne HTTPS certificates became available cheap (free) all serious websites are on HTTPS, so crippling website functionality on HTTP websites does not seem to impact Dutch websurfers. I am a bit less convinced as W_S because depending on your surfing habits and HTTPS usage for your region, it depends whether virtually crippling HTTP websites is a good idea. [/QUOTE]
