[QUOTE="Fabian Wosar, post: 785952, member: 24327"] They do slightly different things. Surf Protection in EAM checks every single request your browser (or any application on your system, browser or not) against the blacklist. The blacklist is comprised of only hostnames and IP ranges because those are the only information it has available without seriously invasive techniques that you don't want us to use as they lower your privacy and security. So it applies to downloads as well for example. The browser extension checks the websites you visit in your browser. It has access to more information, so it can do more fine-grained filtering, but it is limited to websites (not downloads or requests) you visit in your browser only. If you are an EAM user, we recommend to use both. [/QUOTE]
