With Windows 8.1 & Avast free & Chrome,
Which is the best firewall compatible & free?
Windows firewall or NxFilter 1.7.5 (the most recent firewall if I am correct)
Many thanks

Best is a hardware firewall, but if you want a software firewall (as well), I suggest Comodo.

The firewall must be compatible with Windows 8.1 & Avast free
Usually Comodo is not compatible with windows, check microsoft compatibility site.
I need a firewall Avast specialist or other specialist know is compatible and performant.

Comodo is compatible with both avast and windows 8(.1)
btw,
Combination of "Performance" and "Conformant". Commonly used by Microsofties but not a real word.
