For what its worth, I work in cybersecurity, its what my degree is in, and I hold 2 cybersecurity certifications. I don't use any 3rd party AV on my home PC, Windows Defender does basically everything I need. It scores just as well or better than 99% of third party AV programs in AV comparative tests. I also run the extension uBlock Origin in my browser (Chrome). A good ad blocker not only cleans up my browsing experience by hiding intrusive ads, it also increases security by hiding fake download buttons or other things that try to trick users into downloading trojans and ad/bloatware onto their machine.
