[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 740252, member: 67091"] That's great [USER=51905]@Evjl's Rain[/USER] !... the right/perfect combo, is the combo each user likes. If it works for the user, then is the right/perfect combo for him. Privacy/security combos depend only on user profile. Most of the user won't care about system performance, and they will prefer "plug-and-play" solutions (something easier to install/use). In the other hand, paranoids never will be satisfied, they always will want more and more, redundancies, complex and sophisticated stuff etc. They are always looking for perfection, "the 100%" in everything. I prefer something in the middle of both (basic user vs paranoids). Honestly, after testing CF+CS settings, I didn't feel anymore the need of an external AV. I still use/recommend an external AV, just because of the possible "human error factor" (allowing wrong stuff at CF). So, basically CF alone is enough for me, and AV is redundant. Similar logic goes to the browser: The VTzilla 2.0 add-on is more than enough for me. It stops every download. And it checks every download. And it does that without killing system performance. I don't need Norton, Malwerbytes, nothing. Even is not necessary the built-in Safebrowsing-Google option. For phishing, as you said, I trust my experience & habits. But if I fail, VTzilla 2.0 add-on can check URLs. Conclusion, I personally don't need AV, antimalware/phishing add-ons or blocking hosts lists, nothing. I just need VTzilla 2.0 add-on and CF+CS settings... that's all! For 3rd-parties I use Pi-Hole, not because security risks, but for browser performance improvements. 85% of the webpages don't need 3rd-parties, they work "ok", without breaking. So, blocking this webgarbage means "internet speed boost", webpages loading faster, less RAM, less CPU, more battery-life, less internet band consumption etc. But for those without Pi-Hole, tiny/lightweight 3rd-party blockers are enough. For my user profile, this is the right/perfect combo. But I perfectly understand that other users love other combos. [/QUOTE]
