New Update No More $10 Plan: Bitwarden Hikes Prices to Fund ‘Proactive’ Defense Features

[Jonny Quest]

I wonder to whose feeds they have subscribed for phishing protection?

Anyway, feeds for phishing protection are always post-factum.

As I did prove with my extension blocking pyramind.com or whatever, better solutions can be engineered.

The other additions don’t really look too attractive.

I agree, it looks like it's building on what was already there (which is good), except for the phishing blocker....coming soon? But, your extension, DNS server options, and other AV extensions, already do a good job in that regard. I guess for those who may not be sitting behind that type of browser protection, may help? We'll see...."coming soon, to a theater near you, Jaws 5"

I think they built those tools for business customers to be competitive with other business password managers that already have the features. They just percolate this down to the paid consumer subscribers as part of a package to make a "long-overdue" price increase. This is why these new features are not what the consumers asked for. The only thing specifically for consumers is the storage increase, which likely doesn't cost them very much, and still, this isn't what the consumers asked for either.

From the pull below, it may be from the github project Phishing-Database.

• [PM-30384][PM-30380] Phishing Detection - Use official latest phishing sources from phish.co.za by Banrion · Pull Request #18271 · bitwarden/clients
• GitHub - Phishing-Database/Phishing.Database: Phishing Domains, urls websites and threats database. We use the PyFunceble testing tool to validate the status of all known Phishing domains and provide stats to reveal how many unique domains used for Phishing are still active.

Well that sucks! I paid for their premium version because it was a good value, and I wanted to support them. Now maybe I'll look elsewhere, perhaps Proton Pass.
