New Update Osprey Browser Protection discussion and updates

[Foulest]

It’s a temporary issue and should hopefully be resolved soon. It was delisted due to a change in the description that flagged their filters.

What triggered their filters?

What triggered their filters?

I added a section that listed some of the protection providers in Osprey, and it triggered their anti-spam filters and de-listed the extension.

Where you informed or did you notice that the updates failed?

@Foulest, I can not remember if I asked this before or not.

But now that Malwarebytes Browser Guard has a Search Results Reputation option like Bitdefender TrafficLight has.

Are there any plans on Osprey Browser Guard having an option like that in the future?

Thank you.

Would that be a feature you would like? It will slow down search result pages, and the safety badges won't update as fast as other extensions, given that Osprey makes up to 21 network calls per website, compared to Bitdefender's one.

Hello @Foulest, yep. I think that it would be especially helpful for my coworkers, our patrons, and people who I recommend Osprey Browser Protection to. To help them avoid clicking on bad links, and to help train them to be a bit more cautious with links.

FYI, @Foulest already mentioned the reason, please take a look to quotes below or in this thread post #601

Osprey Browser Protection is back on the Google Chrome Web Store, so I was able to install it again on Brave Browser and Google Chrome. Thank you.

@Foulest last night and this morning when I was using Osprey Website Safety Checker to check assumed false positives that OverPhish was detecting on FHMY.net.

To see if Osprey Browser Protection would detect those same links or not.

As I get an idea of how bad the false positives are before reporting them to OverPhish.

I noticed that AlphaMountain has been showing as Unavailable when I use Osprey Website Safety Checker to test some links the OverPhish detects as malicious / phishing (Telegram links, various others, but not all):

The Osprey Status Page does not show anything wrong.

And trying those links on AlphaMountain ThreatYeti works, until you reach the daily limit, of course.

So I am not sure what is going on there and whether it is also impacting Osprey Browser Protection or not.

Thank you.
