My current config for start this new year

You can replace uBlock + ClearURLs with AdGuard. One less extension and AdGuard is available at Edge Store
If you can live without the other addon, you can disable extern Stores which increase your security

Thank you for the advice! for now i'll use uBo + ClearURLs cuz haven't any problems (slowdown/crashes/errors) using both.

Backup:
- Try Macrium Reflect or other, having more than one source of backup's can be crucial, can never have enough

Firewall:
- Try Tinywall or Malwarebyteds WFC, one is set and forget (former), one's notifications based (latter)

You might want to add HitmanPro to your second opinion scanners.

Thanks for the advice, I am planning to add a second option for file and system backup, Macrium Reflect Free seems easy and reliable to use. about Firewall Tinywall is good and looks light and solid for me, i'll give a try!

Today I've changed my settings.

A familiar has given me a license (2 years) for ESET Smart Security Premium, so let's enjoy this suite for a while

I have changed from Bitwarden to ESET Password Manager, for now it seems very good, its operation is identical to Bitwarden so there is no negative point so far.

I have installed Firefox and it seems that its performance and stability have improved a lot so far.

Comments and suggestions to "improve" my use with ESSP are welcome!

If you are using ESET Smart Security Premium then I would suggest something else as your 2nd opinion scanner.
Good to see you keep the browser clean from extensions but do what @SecurityNightmares said.

for now uBo + ClearURLs are working without any problems or slowdowns. I think Adguard consumes a little more resources so for now I will be with uBo + ClearURLs.

Thanks!
