[QUOTE="Tiamati, post: 927131, member: 56785"] I tested KSC and Bitdefender a couple of months ago. None of them worked. I made the tested comparing malicious and test files been accessed through Edge, Firefox and Brave. While both AV protected FF and Edge, they weren't able to protect Brave. I also tested a lot of protections extensions and compared their protection with Brave agaisnt Edge/FF with KSC/BD; none protected Brave in the same way AV covers supported browser. But, for you info, Bitdefender trafficlight was the best, been the only one capable of blocking malware files beyond phishing. I made the same test with AVAST yesterday and it was capable to block almost all files i tested even with Brave. However it's alo true that KSC had slightly better results with supported browsers when compared to AVAST. I'm considering move to AVAST after that, cause i really like Brave. However, i'll give Brave some time, as they are presenting a DNS-leak bug at the present moment. Bitdefender may block some phishing tests, especially if you are using Bitdefender Traffilight. But, in my last tests it wasnt capable of blocking malicious files. You can test this: [URL='https://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check-download-of-compressed-malware/']Feature Settings Check – Download of Compressed Malware | AMTSO[/URL]. This files are not malicious but bitdefender should block them just like it blocks with Edge/Chrome/FF. Check these [URL='https://www.amtso.org/security-features-check/']AMTSO Security Features Check Tools | AMTSO[/URL] and compare with Chrome, if you want an extensive test. Poor guy. :cry:I wish you luck I'm really considering this. I would even stop using Whatsapp, but i'm not capable of making all my working contacts move to Signal. [/QUOTE]
