    Couple questions...One, which VPN service do you use with Wireguard, and, two, since the the Windows' integrated killswitch in the wireguard client doesn't work how do you prevent network leaks?

    This is easy for me. The only time I am not using Sandboxie is when the computer is idle or I am doing updates. So, nothing comes close to SBIE. :)

    Agreed! SBIE is the only thing I have never not had on my systems. Everything else changes from time to time, but never Sandboxie on a ram drive. Also, @Sampei Nihira, PopPeeper is very under-rated and has been a staple on my systems for years.

    WiseVector StopX is always running, but the software I use most is LibreOffice and Atlantis Word Processor.

    When I go online Firefox inside Sandboxie (classic version).

    I very much like it. It gives you a LOT more features than the classic version. However both versions have the same foundation, and you'll be protected with either version. The classic one has a little bit less of a learning curve. If you need any help just ask!

    Catsxp (a fork of Brave Browser)/Côc Côc Browser/MS Edge
    Internet Download Manager/Internet Download Accelerator/FlashGet
    Patch My PC
    Total Uninstall
    Spotify

    Since I use multiple browsers and download managers, I thought I'd list them all together.

    I use Edge solely for following links from and commenting on YouTube videos, as I never sign into my Google account on my other browsers. But for watching YouTube I use my TV.

    I use IDA and FlashGet just to check for updates to installers I've previously downloaded. I use IDM for downloading large files.
