Considerations and Recommendations

uBlock Origin (unwanted content blocker)

In order to block a lot of unwanted content, such as tracking and malvertising, I usually install uBlock Origin.
This extension is a 'wide-spectrum blocker' which has proven to be very versatile and effective.

• uBlock Origin - Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Chromium-based Browsers
• uBlock Origin - Mozilla Firefox
• uBlock Origin - Alternate link for Microsoft Edge (Chromium)
• uBlock Origin - Alternate link for Opera Browser

=> Note that an additional policy needs to be set on Chrome to continue using uBlock Origin (until July 2025). See also some custom policies for both Chromium-based browsers and Firefox.

Bitwarden - Open Source Password Manager

For managing all passwords, secure notes, and to maintain a good attitude of 'password hygiene', I use Bitwarden.
Bitwarden is available in both a paid and a free plan. The paid plan offers a few welcome extras, like enhanced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

• Bitwarden - Home Page
• Bitwarden - Download

Antivirus Software (for Windows)

In the past, I used different antivirus products on Windows. Since 2017, I use the built-in security of Windows.

For a second opinion, in case of doubt, I use VirusTotal, which allows uploading a file for scanning against roughly 67 different reputable antivirus/antimalware engines.
