[QUOTE="Adrian Ścibor, post: 847104, member: 71496"] It seems that changing the browser is not something important. In tests that check the effectiveness of a particular endpoint agent, it is important to examine whether the program blocks the threat by various methods. The protocol for delivering malware to the system is important, not the browser. On the other hand, Chrome / Chromium-based are the most-chosen browsers for users. Security vendors usually already have browser extensions for Chrome. Earlier, testing with EDGE was not friendly because some vendors did not have the extension for non-popular browser. Edge / Chromium changes this and we'll check what we can do to automate it. For example, we didn't have a problem with Chrome. But there were problems with Firefox. That is why the change of browser in our test methodology is not so obvious. It's nothing wrong that the product X does not block the threat in the browser. It should do this at one of three levels in our methodology. But the sooner the better. Although we do not award any points for early blocking already in the browser. If the product does not block malware in the browser, then we have a chance to check whether proactive protection is effective or just a myth. And as for Windows Defender ... The browser must be the same for all products tested. Our point of view, a very small company, we would have to prepare new modules to automate only Windows Defender machines. This is not something we would like to do. [/QUOTE]
