Me too, I'm going to stick to h264ify till I found a way to remove AV1 from YouTube (I like to listen music on YT and having a non hardware accelerated video playing will reduce the performance while gaming).

as far as i know, you can use AV1 to SD
you can toggle that on youtube options (granted you are signed in)
Choosing to stream AV1 in SD will use AV1 up to 480p, and VP9 for higher formats.
I have that enabled on my son's acc and works fine.

not sure what to say, perhaps its due to geo location?
I used chrome to access the options.
Firefox you need to disable something else IIRC

It's same for me in every browser. Hmm maybe it's geo location.

I'm such a bad boy. I was nice and happy and my PC was pretty much snappy with Microsoft Defender but then ESET released the new version 14 and my soft spot for ESET kicks in again so here I am after replacing MD/WD with ESET Internet Security 14.0.21.0

running ESET on 2 of my systems, so far seems fine, not much has been noticed compared to previous build.I'm such a bad boy.

Yes, no noticeable change really, it's all under the hood. Besides, ESET is one of those AV which doesn't wait a year for new features to be implemented. They do so when it's ready so this version upgrade every year is kind of the traditional way of announcing a new version like most AV used to do.

East or West, Windows Internal Security is the best 
Back to Microsoft Defender after having problems with ESET
Thanks to @amirr for pointing this out to me. Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed this.

Windows Defender just works. No muss, no fuss. Other than the Network Inspection bug awhile back.Back to Microsoft Defender after having problems with ESET

Interesting, I run WD on my main desktop. On my laptop that's mostly for playing around I still have ESET. I'm not seeing this issue, but I would recommend WD over all to most everyone. Too many hooks and issues even with well behaved AVs.East or West, Windows Internal Security is the best

You're right. It just works and the AV with least problems/bugs I think. Since switching SSD it's performance has improved greatly also. Though still three apps on my device opens slower the first time after turning on the PC (Bandizip, Everything, Telegram). I put this three exe into exclusion and it solved it.
Hmm not everyone is having the CPU usage bug but WMI crash is there for everybody if you choose to scan the newly implemented WMI scanner. This is not good from ESET because this issue is more than 4 moths old. Anyway, everything is alright with Defender.
You can use Unigram from Windows Store which is a unofficial Telegram port, build as AppContainer

Few months ago there were news about an unofficial telegram app leaked user data or something like that. So, I'm not willing to leave the official app.
Did you have the news?
I don't read anything like that about Unigram.
Unigram is also much safer then official client which even try to install itself into %AppData% by default!

It wasn't Unigram, it was something else.
Edit: Ok, downloading.

We all have our favourites. I still have weakness for Comodo, eagerly awaiting next release.I'm such a bad boy.

Well said. Comodo requires time to get used to and when you do it's not easy to settle with something else I guess as it's really different from any other AV out there.

Ok so one circumstance made me change the AV from Microsoft Defender to Kaspersky Free at the moment.
Though I'm not a happy clicker, I often need to visit some not so trustable free live streaming sites to watch English Premier League and Champions League football (The real football of course
) matches. Those sites most of the time tries to load some third party malicious/adware related scripts which usually don't get detected by any uBlock Origin/Adguard filters. I found two of those scripts somehow ended up on my disk while using Microsoft Defender. The script itself didn't cause any harm on my system but the fact that it ended up on disk really bothered me. This is not the first time it happened, it also happened couple of times few months ago. This is the latest one that I found on the disk:
VirusTotal
As you can see, this is not detected by many engines. Bitdefender, Kaspersky and McAfee have signatures for it.
Kaspersky have HTTPS scanning by default and when enabled it's directly blocking those scripts from loading in the browser in the first place so not possible for that to drop any script or malicious files on the system. ESET completely blocks access to these sites which is problematic for me but Kaspersky is much more flexible as it only blocks the third party script from loading. My view on HTTPS scanning is still kind of 50/50 but this is the kind of benefit you get from HTTPS scanning. Very useful from time to time.
Kaspersky log:
Submitted the script to Microsoft. No verdict yet:
