[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 853850, member: 82776"] [USER=81799]@ErzCrz[/USER] When you have Edge-Chromium tracking prevention set at balanced, Privacy badger is a good add-on. When a website tracks you while visiting three different websites, Privacy badge will block it from tracking you. PB also has a whitelist to prevent blocking to much. I think Edge-Chromium also uses the blocklist of Disconnect (like Firefox, see[URL='https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/12/03/improving-tracking-prevention-microsoft-edge-79/'] link[/URL]). Edge-Chromium developers sort of copied the firefox anti-tracking mechanisms (probably not code copying, but design ideas and Disconnect blocklist it is based upon). Smartscreen is pretty good, when you use Windows Defender, install ConfigureDefender ([URL='https://github.com/AndyFul/ConfigureDefender']link[/URL]) and set protection to high. This will also add additional bad-url surfing protection to Windows Defender. When you have WD I would opt for Netcraft as additional phishing protection. When you don;t use WD, I would add bitdefender because it provides great protection against bad-url's and phishing threats.
