I think it's a great product but I don't use it, at least not now. Since AVG went to hell, it is my definite go-to choice when not using WD.

Yeah it's great indeed. Ram usage is high but very light in daily use. What I don't like is their cleanup process which forcefully unhide hidden files till the pc is restarted. Otherwise very good.
I’m criticising the product, not his choice.

Indeed. And its web filter doesn't cover all browsers.
I don't think I ever had anything it cleaned up, so I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Many products do that, because some viruses hide the extensions and disable viewing of hidden files. Or at least they’ve done it ages ago. Because they just keep adding up to some definitions, new threats get mixed with old and the product performs actions that are no longer necessary.

Probably your opinion is the only truth in your mind, but please stop to spread that kind of BS, nobody needs your polemics no matter it's meant as joke
The statement "My data remaining in Germany" isn't really different to other AV vendors around the world, all claiming about the importance of privacy but that's impossible nowadays by performing cloud analysis by almost every AV...

I mean after Bitdefender removes a malware automatically enables show extension of file types option and don't let users tick on the show hidden files option till the PC is restarted. The first one is ok since I enabled that anyway but the second one bothers me.
I don't think many products do this anymore. Can't remember seeing this in any other products in recent time. Trend Micro used to do the same few years ago then I reported this to them and in the next yearly released version they fixed the hidden folders option thing. I don't know whether they considered this after my reporting or they already had this in their plan.

For Norton when you click on show hidden files it works but Bitdefender requires a reboot.

uBO.
I've abandoned uBO multiple times.... for AdGuard Desktop, for Ghostery, for combinations of other things...
And on most computers, I add it back.
I'm not claiming uBO is better -- in fact I'm starting to think that both of the aforementioned capabilities *could* be better. Of course, that's all based on how much expertise you develop in whichever program you use. All can be excellent.
I just prefer using it -- on its own, or with other stuff. Once you get to be a mid-level uBO user -- it's pretty capable.

Everyone has his opinion, and I have my own. And with years of experience in this product. I would put it back on my system if needed.

I think uBo showing what happens under the hood in terms of third-party connections appeals to many geeks.

No....you don't. It seams that you have quite a lot of knowledge and experience but for me it happens to often that you make a fuss if someone "dares" have another opinion than you.
Going back to topic...I would back to Look'n'Stop, Online Armor, Neoava Guard and Threatfire. Actually I can still do this except NG due to some weird system incompatibility.
I just hope that devs read them comments and I criticise the products as you see, not the people using them. However there are products that users should learn to stay away of. Unlike many people here on this forum, who blindly defend one AV, I have explored quite a huge list of them and I have mentioned pros and cons, and who will they be perfect for. I am not repeating “Norton”, “Norton” like a zombie.
Any claim that I make is well supported. There are other people who try to play smart and force their incompetent opinion on others, such as the thread that I saw recently that TotalAV is a scam (I wasn’t tagged, but it was clearly and passive-aggresive addressed to me), when I dug to the bottom of the company and found out it is not. It’s just a cheap and ineffective garbage. This kind of opinions will obviously be met with a fuss. If we won’t be telling the truth, it’s better we don’t say anything at all.
