[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1064645, member: 78686"] Can't say much about other features as I haven't tried the new ESET yet but I think for the safe search function, extension is the safest method out of all. AFAIK, one of the other ways to have safe search without extension is to inject a script into the webpage by the AV. This is something Kaspersky does when users don't enable their extension. But apparently this has slight performance delay as the browser have to wait for Kaspersky to inject the script. Same for Adguard for Desktop app. Both work without extension (sometimes K's safe search doesn't) but they prefer their users to use the extension. With extensions installed, the browser and the product communicates in a faster and safer way. You can see that Bitdefender probably uses a different method. Neither extension nor script injection (it seems that way) and BD users know how broken their safe search function is. Barely works for anyone. Safe search and VPNs are two things are requested by many casual users on the ESET forum. I also saw many such users moved to other products from ESET due to this. So ESET finally succumb to this to give users more reasons to pay for their ESSP version. [/QUOTE]
