[QUOTE="nickoftime, post: 1007549, member: 5940"] Yes, but if they are offering these features it's probably safe to assume that disabling them will greatly reduce their effectiveness. It depends on how their HTTPS Filtering is implemented, and what alternative protection they offer when disabled. Well, that's quite worrying if true. Unless I'm mistaken, Microsoft Defender's full protection is only available when paired with Microsoft Edge. It's even worse than browser-specific extensions: it's a single-browser AV. In any case, it's not an option - forgot to mention it in my first post. [/QUOTE]
