Me too again, for the same reason.
Defender caught & quarantined the malware that got sent out with CCleaner a few months ago. VirusTotal gave it a clean bill of health, VT doesn't include Defender its scanner bag, but it does include Avast Ψ². |
I use CCleaner here, but wasn't bitten.

For me TabMixPlus became a bit of a PITA, so I moved to point solutions like those from piro. My thinking now is there's probably more chance of WebExt equivalents of point solutions turning up rather than all-singing-and-dancing, bell-and-whistle gadgets like TMP and OmniSideBar.

Fair enough. The question is whether point solutions will exist to cover enough of what the all-singing-and-dancing extensions do. Some simply can't be replaced by point solutions.

If my Firefox goes pear shaped I'll probably move to Edge.

I have it here, and have been poking it in the background. It's actually usable, and decently secure. (The usability is partially a matter of it supporting an extension capability, though pickings are currently slim.) And it starts up a lot faster than Chrome or FF, because like its predecessor, it is baked into the OS, and not a layered product. That last is irrelevant to me because I
don't hop in and out of the browser. I start FF when I set down at the machine and leave it running. (It's loaded from an SSD, so speed of invocation is about 4 seconds.
)
But I run Linux as well as Windows, so Edge is out here. I need the
same browser in both OSes. (On my former desktop, where I dual booted, Firefox's profile lived on the Windows side. Ubuntu Linux can read an NTFS file system, so I used the same profile on both sides.)
