There should not be any visible difference for Chromium-based web browsers - MDBP also uses the SmartScreen reputation. Furthermore, while finishing the download, the file is checked by Defender (BAFS). The difference could be if you would enable PUA protection or "Enhance your security on the web" in Edge.
The problem can be with Firefox. The MDBP extension and BAFS do not support Firefox.
I hoped that Windows Defender would redesign it's UI to make average noobies feel at home with Windows 11. I guess we'll have to wait till that happens.
In this, you get some good facilities and some wrong too because we do not know some things like as a defender, we need realtime, which can tell us whether this thing is already right or wrong in our desktop. great thing to put on
Its big advantage is that it is included directly in Windows, and that it is modular with tools like DefenderUI or ConfigureDefender.
