Indeed, it's an impressive achievement by Kaspersky. Their consistent performance in independent tests shows their commitment to providing top-notch cybersecurity solutions.

K is great; my current AV; however, it has some limitation in detection of phishing combined with FPs.
Symantec browser protection extension detects much more.

Yeah agreed spearfishing is a difficult category to master.
Symantec has its own flaws too.

The best two extension for phishing, symantec on chrome store and mcafee on edge store; TL comes next.

Symantec is included in osprey and to be fair Kaspersky isn't far behind on pishing it will definitely work together and Kaspersky could detect stuff Symantec might miss

This is true, Kaspersky results are top for more than decade now, here are samples of independent tests:

I'm not questioning K efficiency; personally, it's my current AV.
However, no product is failproof.

Don't trust on one single solution for protection, its layered defense that works better than one single solution. Use a good DOH system wide DNS server which has a blocking capability ( Next dns or quad 9 or similar). Make sure that nothing can bypass your dns server setting. Use a local ad block/ browser protection on every browser and most importantly use a backup solution for the really rainy days.

I do already have multi-layer protection:
Modem router firewall to max
ControlD DNS
Simplewall
Kaspersky antivirus
Symantec browser protection (which is very good and blocks malicious websites more than K)
uBlock origin lite
Edge smart screen

Why not use osprey instead of Symantec as it has it as a provider ?

I used to have a few security extensions myself before osprey nowadays I use osprey and checkpoint only and both don't hold pages although osprey is still far better on terms of resource usage (checkpoint has bigger assets , injects scripts into pages )
Basically for any over 4gb ram machine I would install both and those under only osprey

DNS.EU for those in Europe is awesome as it's basically superior to next DNS as it has more intelligence providers and should be better then quad9 (I use quad9 since it has servers in my country and didn't have false positives so far )

Tried osprey; it is excellent and light.
But I have doubts about its longevity; filter data base providers may show objection using their data.
Most of osprey detections are by symantec.

quad9 is the fasted one in my country.
But tests show superiority of blocking malware and phishing for controld and dns0 over quad9 and cleanbrowsing.

Those that need either one of these piracy , low false positives, privacy then quad 9 is the best DNS
But those that don't I would recommend DNS.EU zero and obviously inside eu for good response time

Most will depend on the feed being tested as in a few tests bitdefender caught more malicious sites

But generally I agree Symantec Is overall one of the best provider in terms of detection from what osprey has and the reason is because of their mass amount of intelligence sources Symantec makes use of and plenty of sensors etc

tried dns0 before; it is great.
but controld provide extra feature of blocking ad; useful when I do not want to use extensions, although not that effective as ublock origin.

of course at the expense of some fps; but it blocks more websites than tl

I would just use brave browser for adblocking
There is no need for global AdBlocking on majority of devices
Maybe except mobile as its inconvenient to patch every application to remove ads and people allowed ads to become popular in that platform

of course at the expense of some fps; but it blocks more websites than tl

Symantec is incredible 100% and it's one of my favorite with it's flaws
