Don't worry folks, it won't break 'the internet'. My own specific experience may be enhanced or degraded, but yours will continue as before . BTW, Google still works as (to me surprise) there is some anti-tampering feature of Windows Defender that removes redirects of certain well-known sites.

It wasn't advice to everyone to do the same, and hopefully no one would just do something suggested by a complete stranger that mangles their internet settings.

It was info that hopefully will allow the IB team to figure out who / what may be sending over the flaky content.
