[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1037266, member: 99014"] That may be one reason, also (I’ve not installed Chrome in years so I may be wrong) but by default it gets installed with the enhanced security turned off, doesn’t it? As far as I remember, this relies only on a local copy of the safe browsing cache and doesn’t check every URL in real time. [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/11577602?hl=en[/URL] I am inclined to believe this score as on all my tests Chrome has always performed very poorly against phishing and malicious sites, but haven’t ever tested Firefox so not sure if it’s better. For me this browser is non-existent. [/QUOTE]
