[LDogg]

Extension advice:
You can get rid of 2 extensions by replacing them with Click & Clean: Click&Clean
IDN Safe may not be needed.
Privacy Badger could be replaced by Privacy Possum: Privacy Possum

The rest of your setup looks good! Ty for sharing.

Privacy Badger replaced by AdGuard - I prefer real and updated anti-tracking filters compared to the hypothetical.

Removed Emsisoft Browser Security and replaced it with Clean Browsing Security DNS (updates links every 2 hours, checked against PhishTank).
Replaced UltraDNS Threat DNS with Quad9 Security DNS, it provides a better protection, it does not log nor block, umm, "legal" webpages (warez).

Advice Request - Phishing Protection — Comparing DNS Security Filters

DNS Filters Compared In this test, I will compare these 6 free and public DNS providers that are supposed to filter access to malicious domains: Quad9: 9.9.9.9 OpenDNS: 208.67.222.123 (used their free version) CleanBrowsing: 185.228.168.9 Norton ConnectSafe (Malware, Phishing and Scam sites)...

cleanbrowsing(in browser dnscrypt?) bypasses your quad9 right? other browsers and apps in your computer benefits from quad9?

Precisely. It is also practical, sometimes system DNS fails to work due to my experiments, but browser's DNS works just fine or vice versa.

Like the change to AdGuard @TairikuOkami ! Good choice if I say so myself.

Glad you made those small changes. Once I landed on AdGuard I never looked back from the other stuff I used. One can find lifetime licenses at a good price via various legit reseller websites which is nice.

I still use uBlock Origin just to see how AdGuard is workin'. AdGuard works like a charm.

Today, on the Computer Security Day (30th November), I have got 1TB Icedrive's Lifetime account for the secondary backups, seems only fitting.
