[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 810427, member: 50782"] After running some time on Chrome without problems, I decided to opt for two user Profiles. NORMAL user profile with extensions Ghostery and Auto History wipe and PRIVATE user profile with Trace and Auto History Wipe. I tweaked the PRIVATE profile a little (e.g. did not install Dutch as language, added startpage as default search engine and did not opt to save passwords). Running Ghostery without Enhanced Blocking (to prevent running into Adblock warnings/walls of websites). Running Trace maxed out except when there is a explicit warning a specific option breaks website functionality and disabled User Agent Randomizer (I want to hide in the herd of Windows 10 plus Chrome latest). The help section of Trace explains how to add your own rules. They are easier to write than AdBlock rules. Simply select add rule and select the "Block access to this site" and untick "Allow this site to make requests to blocked websites" options and your done. I choose the same colour for User Profile (blue for normal, red for private) as the color code extension icon. These two profiles hopefully ends my search for balancing useability and blocking (with two different profiles I don't have to balance anymore, why did I not think of that earlier). :emoji_expressionless: Using Chrome's developer tools (Network tab, select JavaScript) I checked what scripts were not blocked by Trace default filter and added them to my whitelist-blocklist, so these websites behaved nicely when visiting them with PRIVATE profile. [ATTACH type="full"]212548[/ATTACH] I noticed that Trace did not block one of the leading ad networks, so I sent the author a message and added top 25 ad&tracking networks in the world out of lazyness (I noticed afterwards that Trace default list blocks most of them). I aso used the 'whitelist' option to block the advertisements of Startpage search engine (DuckDuckGo has an option to disable advertisements, but I like Startpage more). [/QUOTE]
