Hi there. By default, if you set Configure Defender to High it enables the maximum cloud protection settings, as shown in the screenshot below....
Slimjet 29 is the first version to offer DoH natively with no command-line flag required: it worked perfectly for me. It was also a huge...
I use WD with Configure Defender on High and all cloud permissions allowed. Last year when my Internet connection was down for 2 days, WD was...
Updating my above post: the Securion AV found one more threat but missed two, which I had to delete manually. Notably, Google Play Protect didn't...
I can't imagine ever using the regular Chrome :argh:
I've checked the update logs for this supposed fix but don't see anything from MS, even after I changed my connection to unmetered. Manually...
I have observed a DOH bug in Firefox beginning with version 84.0. It seems that the previous custom entry has somehow become hard-coded; if I try...
As luck would have it, I ran a chkdsk /f 2 days after installing KB4592438 with an AHCI SATA3 Silicon Power SSD on 20H2 and experienced no problems.
I have a UMX U683CL which received a software update by the vendor in late Sept. 2020 and now appears to have HiddenAds malware on it. After ads...
Xubuntu 20.04 ran smoothly from a USB 2.0 drive on my 2016-era i3 laptop, which has only 4 GB of RAM, during the time the hard drive was...
This userchrome file still works for me on FF 83 portable: https://github.com/VernonStow/FirefoxCSS

For Android, the only one I use now is Bromite with its built-in ad blocker based on uBO: https://www.bromite.org/ I don't know if it works with...
Installed November updates from Windows Catalog today on 20H2 (SSU, .NET, and CU). Took the usual 10 min. on the SSD as opposed to 90 min. on the...
Today Windows warned me of a pending download of Version 2004 on a metered connection in 1909. Since I didn't particularly want 2004, I installed...

One Drive, though I don't use cloud storage much.
Keepass Portable for me.
FWIW, I've never had a bad driver update from Windows Update on any of three laptops with Windows XP, 7, or 10.
A far as I know, yes. On a related note, mine sometimes turned itself off for no apparent reason while using WD, but that hasn't happened since I...
When I checked for updates yesterday on a metered connection (1909, not an insider), it offered me that infernal .NET preview again, so I paused...
I switched to Bromite this summer on my old 5.1 tablet and cheap 8.1 phone. It runs great and blocks most ads. Kiwi is still on Chromium 77? I...
After manually installing the Sept. updates with no problems, I un-paused updates on a metered connection. Sure enough, it offered to download...
I think that's because Microsoft now makes it almost impossible to turn off Defender unless another AV is installed, and even then, Defender can...
