I just installed Kaspesky Security Cloud Free to test it. At the end of the process, Kaspesky asks to install Kaspersky protection extension so the AV can work properly.
However, the extension only works with Chrome!! When used with Brave or the new Edge, the extensions is grey and not working. I took a look and it seens the extension has 4 functions:
1) Private Browsing: basically an antri tracker (only for PAID version)
2) Ad-block (only for PAID version)
3) Digital keyboard
4) "securityfunctions"
The first 3 options wont have any use for me. But i'm in doubt with the security function.
According to the extension description, it says:
"Security
- Dangerous Content Blocking - prevents a website from loading if it is deemed a dangerous or phishing website by Kaspersky Lab.
But as I have the Kaspesky Security Cloud Free installed, those security functions would not be already covered by the AV? I'm worried cause i'm not using Chrome anymore, and that extension only works well with it!
