Using Defender as your first line of defense

In my experience, a content blocker like uBO or Nano blocker is even more important than an antivirus.

Important, yes. More than an AV? I doubt it. But, I am certain some users do well with a content blocker and web filtering extension and no AV. Like @Umbra's Total Security which is famous for lacking an AV.

This is because during beta testing Umbra's became "self aware" - devoured the entire operating system - and was trying to go after the local power grid....apparently the AI was set too aggressive.

In fact, i sold the code to Tony Stark, he really insisted and proposed me an offer I couldn't refuse, but the idiot made Ultron from it...
I told him it was too powerful for him to handle.

I did like free voodooshield, but it could not protect the canary browsers, new edge as example...but i just used code integrity guard for that

Were you using Free or Pro? Pro lets you add apps to the protected list but I'm not sure of Free because it's been so long ago that I used it.
