[QUOTE="SearchLight, post: 900603, member: 63857"] I am using WD+ConfigHIGH+SWH+VS+BDTrafficLight+UbO. I use Windows Firewall. I have been wondering about malware that can insert or download itself through my browser when I land on a website that I would not be aware. I use three browsers, FF, Google Chrome, and the new Edge, all up to date. I know that a good AV or Extension like BDTL will block a malicious website before one gets there. Is there an extension that can block the type of malware that I describe? I may be misunderstanding browser malware in regard to how they work but I was wondering if it is in the realm of sandboxing but then it would be an additional program leading to bloat and potential conflicts. In essence, overkill? If anyone can clarify the concept, and make a recommendation, I would appreciate it. Maybe I am overthinking it. [/QUOTE]
