What are some good web protection options for Windows 11?
Ive recently noticed that Microsoft Defender doesnt seem to provide the kind of network protection I was expecting, and Windows even points this out in its security settings. The links provided there don’t seem to lead to anything useful in the Microsoft Store either.
So, I d like to know what network protection tools everyone is actually using on Windows 11. Does Microsoft recommend a specific service, or is it better to use a third-party security product like Bitdefender?

This is a highly recommended and often overlooked method. Instead of relying on your ISP's DNS, you can use a DNS service that actively blocks known malicious domains.
