Notable changes
February 5, 2023: Activated PIN code for the SIM card

Installed Sophos Intercept X, deactivated Samsung's built-in protection (not needed anymore) and uninstalled Kaspersky Free.

Also switched from Bromite to tweaked Google Chrome because it has better integration with Sophos Intercept X features.


February 8, 2023: switched from Firefox Nightly to Firefox Stable, extensions remains the same
What I'm looking for?

Looking for maximum feedback.

I'll update the post, thanks for the feedback :)
Just one observation: Write down this PIN in a safe place so you don't forget it, since the SIM CARD PIN will only be requested when you turn on or restart the device, in time if you don't have a good memory, you can forget it, and then it's a headache to run after the PUK.
 
Some changes I've done in my mobile configuration today:
