[QUOTE="Tiamati, post: 923782, member: 56785"] That's only partially true. I recently made a test to know if any extension could block malware in Brave as Kaspersky could in supported browsers. I tested [URL='https://www.amtso.org/security-features-check/']AMTSO Security Features Check Tools |[/URL] with: [HEADING=2][INDENT][INDENT]Avira Safe Shoppin[/INDENT][/INDENT][/HEADING] [INDENT]Netcraft Extension[/INDENT] [HEADING=2][INDENT][INDENT]Bitdefender TrafficLight[/INDENT][/INDENT][/HEADING] [INDENT]Malwarebytes Browser Guard[/INDENT] [HEADING=2][INDENT][INDENT]Emsisoft Browser Security[/INDENT][/INDENT][/HEADING] [INDENT]Norton Safe Web[/INDENT] Most of them, only blocked the [URL='https://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check-phishing-page/']pishing test.[/URL]. While Bitdefender blocked the download of some malicious test files as well, but not all It was not able to block at least: [URL='https://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check-drive-by-download/']Feature Settings Check - Drive-By Download | AMTSO[/URL] [URL='http://amtso.eicar.org/eicar.exe']RAR-SFX format[/URL] [URL='http://amtso.eicar.org/cloudcar.exe']Cloud Based Test[/URL] BTL also was not able to block those 3 tests using only the extension with Edge. Kaspersky on the other hand, was able to block everything (100%) with Edge and Firefox. I don't believe the results from BTL were associated with Bitdefender itself, but with limitations of the extension. If someone have Bitdefender installed, it could make the test with those 3 missed samples and check if the AV suit blocks them. So, despite BTL actually is the best protection extension for Brave, it's not as good as a full and compatible AV suite. At least considering these tests [/QUOTE]
