For extensions, only Symantec was able to detect; the rest failed to.

Now it is detected by MD also beside K and ESET before, but nothing from B and Avast.

Nothing beats Symantec's browser protection; it's really good, though it has plenty of false positives. Malwarebytes Browser Guard is getting close to Symantec it caught a fake browser update today that Bitdefender missed. This demonstrates the power of Malwarebytes Browser Guard and how much better it’s becoming. Love it or hate it, it does its job.

Which protection would be better for me to use on my Android phone (Samsung A56): Eset,Norton,Bitdefender?
I still have a one-year subscription for the first two.
I could buy the third security solution cheaply right now.

Just from keeping up with the Bitdefender Forum, chances are you'll have more glitches with Bitdefender. IMO, it tries to cover so many bases that it can have issues in that regard. What protection features do you really need, compare the products and wait for other replies here as well.

I hardly use my phone online, it's just pretty much talk and text, so the onboard security is enough for me in my case. Samsung A35 5G.

what made you buy the a35?

I got a great deal on a trade in, and I didn't need anything more than what the A35 was offering at that price. I'm not a phone power user

In my opinion, if you already have McAfee’s basic protection enabled—which scans apps during installation and updates—and you download and update apps only from official stores (Google or Samsung), use the advanced protection features in your web browser, keep your phone’s software up to date, and utilize Samsung Knox, then you don’t need any additional security for your smartphone. If you really want an extra layer of protection, you could opt for Bitdefender Mobile or Bitdefender Mobile Free.

Good call on the free version, as I had in mind the Total version, which I consider overkill (greater chance of glitches) for a phone
