What should I change?

 

[ForgottenSeer 85179]

UAC to maximum "always notify"
replace Firefox with new Edge
add NextDNS as system DNS provider

Set UAC to max... Avast VPN?

Stay with FF if You want, still a great browser... It seems like the new Edge Chromium is in fashion now ... sorry but I don't want to contribute to making it the new monopoly

MS Edge chromium still not good enough because sometimes i lose the session and can't even restore it as I have like 900 tabs opened!

I never get a session crash but i don't use that number of non-hand able tabs
Can you make a screenshot ?

I usually stick to UAC on default settings and not max. There is a reason why MS ships with default settings. Doesnt hurt but for me is unnecessary headaches.

As for Avast SecureLine, there are way better options out there, such as NordVPN and ExpressVPN

I would stay clear of any Avast products, their VPN is litteraly just a licensed version of a VPN like Hotspot shield, this is usually the case for almost all AV VPN's.

screenshot of what?

because too much user's are whining with UAC from Vista. Windows defaults are also less annoying but that doesn't mean it's the best.


Of your browser with that number of tabs

820 Tabs opened

That on itself is subjective as to what is best. doesnt mean default settings are not decent.

UAC at default is decent, but recently there are a number of threats that can surpass it and UAC at max would be the only solution to this

Kaspersky Resource Center recommends to keep UAC enabled.

What I do: when using a security suite, I keep the UAC settings at max; if I add a tool like Voodooshield, Comodo Firewall or SpyShelter to my security, I set it at default. I use F-Secure Safe+ SpyShelter Premium+UAC at default.
