[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 900612, member: 51905"] This is what I use based on my thinking: - Chromium browser: Google Safebrowsing = 1 engine - Bitdefender trafficlight = 1 engine - Windows Defender Browser Protection = 70-80% strength of Microsoft Edge's Smartscreen = 0.7-0.8 engine => I have 2.7-2.8 engines in 1 browser and they perform very smoothly Comments: - Firefox: uses Google Safebrowsing but with ~30-minute delay of database compare to Google Chrome/Chromium -> weaker = ~2.5 engines - Edge: only has Smartscreen, no way we can add Google Safebrowsing = 2 engines - NextDNS: uses Google Safebrowsing + its own database -> not much gain if you have Safebrowsing but it can protection outside browser - Other Malware blocking DNS-s: Neustar and Cleanbrowsing -> they have their own databases and they are good. You might consider them but if you want max. speed, use your fastest DNS - Besides browsers, after you download something and execute them, Windows will check the file with Windows Smartscreen (different from Edge's smartscreen but shares some similarities, based reputation/rating/prevalence of a file) -> another strong layer Because of all things I wrote above, I choose Chromium-based browser (with Google Safebrowsing) + Trafficlight + WDBP -> Windows Smartscreen -> Antivirus Sandboxing is only when you really want to run a file but your browser, extensions, AV or Smartscreen say it's potentially malicious. Running it in sandbox or VM to determine its safety [/QUOTE]
