   Startup time is a bit slower not much.
   Everything else is ok.
   I think this is nothing more than a GUI change.
   All the same shit is where you would expect to find it.

   I don't want a gui change so as long as 10 is still updated I'll be on 10 watch it go the way of 8 and be forgotten instantly

   The fix is to get a rule-based firewall and block all its inbound and outbound ports on TCP and UDP.

   You just only allow the browser ports. Block every other port.

   Anything you use, you just look at what ports it's using and allow those through the firewall and block all other ports. You can also filter by executable process (PID) at the same time, so Windows doesn't try and use them.

    what about programs that use random ports like torrent clients?
    
    i can only enhancement executables that i know, who is to say a windows program in the background cant use whichever port is open?
    
    its a moot point anyhow, if the OS itself is spyware then its irrelevant how you use it, the firewall is subordinated to it is it not? windows can probably bypass it.

    good spywares know how to scan open ports and use them.

    That's why you associate only the browser process to the port and block by default all other PIDs from accessing it.
    
    In computing, the process identifier (a.k.a. process ID or PID) is a number used by most operating system kernels—such as those of Unix, macOS and Windows—to uniquely identify an active process.

    the PID changes every time the process is restarted so that is useless.
    
    and as i said, im not some normie who only uses fecesbook, i have uses for more than just a browser

    You can write a .bat file which will identify the new PID and update the firewall config file automatically.

    but the config file wont correct itself automatically when i have to edit it every single damn time i start a program i intended to run
    
    which would be like 50 times a day

    You just click the bat file after you open the browser. Easy peasy.

    We had to figure all this out by trial and error. And that's the best way to truly learn. Using batch files, you can basically accomplish anything.

    you havent given any automated solution if i have to edit a fucking a bat file every single time i run an application. thats so tedious i would rather get raided by the feds.

    If you want a good place to start, study how WinSock works.
