Windows Defender + uBlock Origin with more filter lists + brain.exe in free tier

Tbh, uBlock Origin + brain.exe has been carrying the heaviest load for years for me. Windows Defender would catch 80% of the occasional slips where brain.exe wanted some risks, too.

Never heard of brain.exe could I get some more info and maybe an official link?

Oh no, not at all. First, you need to download the dependencies tho. Start with downloading more ram.
