Sloth's Config

[Sloth]

I have very good knowledge of PC hardware and I've been build PC's for myself & others since 2004. So if you want help with building PC's, then just tag me in your thread.

But I'm a bit rusty on the windows knowledge, especially on the security side because I have been using only Linux for the past 6.5 years.

I don't visit any malware sites and usually visit tech/gaming related sites. So I think this security config is enough.

Please post if you have any recommendations or suggestions. Thanks.


PS:
Hardware config.
AMD Phenom II X6 1090t + 8GB RAM + GTX 970 4GB

DNS
Currently using OpenNIC as OpenDNS is not exactly "open" anymore. RIP OpenDNS.

Whatever If you encounter a disaster copy paste won't save you

Since you are not visited on those malware sites then you're setup is very fine through many years to come.

You may consider a little trim dowb to your setup to save time.

Yes I know right. I don't care if windows fails to boot because I enjoy reinstalling as it gives me a fresh copy which will be fast. Also I've doing that copy paste for backup for the past 8 years and it has worked well for me.

Little trim down? I don't understand. What do you mean?

 

[jamescv7]

@Sloth : I mean when you are a low risk user, then reduce a little bit to your setup but the protection still guaranteed.

 

[Sloth]

@jamescv7 Roger that.

Hi, your config is very nice and complete.
Only a thing: I suggest you to install Collusion extension which allows you to know which websites
are tracking you. Thanks for sharing it

All I can say is that the config is great but do you have a second browser?

 

[Sloth]

^ I use Pale moon x64 as secondary browser. Updated in the OP.
