And I do not get the widespread recommendation not to run a 3rd party

3rd party firewall, *actually* phoning home) I do not understand for
one moment.
I got tired of those popups, and configured my firewall in such a way
that I did not see them; then realized that I was being sufficiently
permissive as to not catch malware that way, anyway. So I was
negating that very feature you flog as "protective". Just as well to
not have that firewall as to ignore those popups.
I thought you knew what you were talking about, but apparently...
