  44. * Popup Blocker (Strict)
  45. * Protect My Choices - ad tracker opt out software from the Digital Advertising Alliance https://youradchoices.com/pmc (This shouldn't matter because Ghostery and uBlock are already blocking the trackers, but if there are any new ones or ones slipping through, I'm opted-out of targeted advertising from them)
  46. * RoboForm Password Manager - so Opera is not saving any of my autofill data. I can't recommend this software enough. I've been using it for at least 15 years. It automatically saves all my usernames and randomly generated passwords to a cloud based server that was custom written by the company that made it (so it has no chance of being broken into like Apache or MySQL), you have one password, a master password, which Roboform doesn't know, and encrypts all your files on the cloud in AES encryption, so it will also auto-fill login and password fields on your phone as well. I use this everyday all day 24/7. https://tinyurl.com/RoboFormPasswordManager123 It's ABSOLUTELY worth every penny and much better than the free alternatives out there.
  47. * ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomwear
