[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 750520, member: 67091"] In my opinion, CF + CS settings... is 99% enough. In my opinion, there is no need for antivirus or similar. In years, the only time I saw CF+CS failing, was with Ccleaner spyware, because CF database rated Ccleaner as "trusted". That is the only reason I give it 99%. But there is no 100% perfect software. So I chose CF, because it gives me great blocking rates, with minimum system impact. Adblockers? I don't need them. I use a tiny/lightweight 3rd-party blocker... it kills 90% of ads and other pests. Also, in Firefox, the tracker blocker list (Disconnect) blocks lot of stuff, without hurting performance. And if you learn a bit about CSS/Java/Bending, you can create some blocking codes with zero system impact. Most of the users not just can't see difference in browsing performance, but also they don't care. It is perfectly fine, and there is no reason to be paranoid. My passion for system performance... is just my hobby, is like a game, fun. As we already talked about it, people here are not average-users, they are nerds, they enjoy looking for more, learning more stuff, tricks, hacks etc. And that is the reason I enjoy looking the best privacy/security, with the best system performance. It is my hobby. It is personal. If you have hundred of installed software, and you don't see difference in browser or system performance... then it is perfectly fine! Use whatever you want, don't worry, and enjoy life. Welcome to the club! (LOL) Time ago I was similar to you. I used to install every add-on, every software. I believe this is natural, part of the process, is the way we start by testing everything. My advice is that now, you can test the opposite way. Try uninstalling everything, and installing just the minimum (for example an anti-executable, an AV, and a system level blocker like K9). In my opinion, you will see that the 90% of extensions and software are unnecessary. Always it will be up to your user-profile. As long as you test more, you read more, you learn more... then you need less and less extensions/software. [/QUOTE]
