As far as I know, these are the three most well known, standalone, browser security extensions, so which one of them is the best?
Actually I'm using Edgium so I already have Defender SmartScreen integrated.Performance: Emsisoft >>> BD trafficlight >> malwarebytes
Protection: BDTL ~ malwarebytes (sometimes BDTL >=, sometimes MB >) >>>>> emsisoft
another contender: windows defender browser protection
performance: WDBP > emsisoft
protection: BDTL > WDBP >>> Emsisoft
Correct, not needed when using the new Edge.Actually I'm using Edgium so I already have Defender SmartScreen integrated.
With KIS no extra extensions are needed. Maybe only an adblocker. KIS has one of or the best webprotection out there.I have Emsisoft running which has shown few warnings - Used to use Traffic light but no longer - I rely on the rest of the system to keep safe including KIS & AdGuard for Windows/NVT ~
another contender: windows defender browser protection
performance: WDBP > emsisoft
protection: BDTL > WDBP >>> Emsisoft
Unfortunately, Kaspersky's extension only works when you have a Kaspersky product installed. It's not a standalone extension like the others mentioned in this thread. Anti-Banner and Private Browsing are only available with the paid versions not with KSC Free.
It is a shame that Kaspersky doesn't have a standalone extension as I find their web protection to be very good, and also, what is it with Kaspersky not having a free version of Security Cloud on Mac? They have Security Cloud on Mac but paid version only....Unfortunately, Kaspersky's extension only works when you have a Kaspersky product installed.

actually, as Gandalf said, Kaspersky only works when we have Kaspersky AV. The extension basically does nothing even with Kaspersky AV

It just adds some minor features which most users don't need and it doesn't filter any website => uninstall
the heavy works are done by the web filter in Kaspersky AV
exactly, emsisoft was great initially after it was released, better than BD at some point. However, after a while, it seems they don't improve it much and it has gone downhill, close to the bottomI have Emsisoft Browser extension along with Emsisoft Anti malware on my other laptop, and I can honestly say that the emsisoft extension has never thrown up an alert in 11 months of using it.
the website was blocked by kaspersky internet security, not the extension
