I'm using ESET Nod32 and it's still on by default but it can be easily deactivated in the settings panel.
Unfortunately, Defender is still the worse in system performance impact (1) and I can't bear it especially when you do `npm ci` or the like. Or if you are into gaming, launching Steam with/without Defender enabled and you see 10-20 secs launch time difference.
I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't focus on that. They reached good detection rate but the slowdown induced by Defender still make other AVs worth it (same good detection rate but with less performance impact).
