New Update Osprey Browser Protection discussion and updates

[Foulest]

Nothing like that happened. Don't worry. Osprey is fully above board legally, and no more providers will be removed.
Expect new providers down the line!

Good, any evidence of this rating ? make a video with all of these extension you told about (mention you are a real competitor), to proove this evaluation to the public is correct.
for me you are lying to them as always.

Nice, thank you, it would be cool to also have how they rated at blocking malicious websites, too.

Also, I would recommend adding McAfee WebAdvisor to the list.

@Foulest I suddenly had an idea that you could also add Yandex DNS, which is disabled by default, in the Safe configuration. This could be useful for Eastern Europe and Central Asia in terms of protection.

Yandex DNS

Configure Yandex DNS on your computer and mobile device. It can also protect your home network.

Several western stuff do not like any product of Yandex; when was using Yandex browser, msn.com blocked loading of news from its main page; clicking just reloads the page.
In addition to unexplained captcha on other websites.

He didn't do because of privacy concerns but would be nice if it's added as disabled

Also, Avast's FF extension is still available, but seems to have EOL.

Thank you, @rashmi, only the Edge version showed for me when I searched myself from the official stores, but your links do show up for me.

@goodjohnjr you are a Linux user! Welcome aboard.

@goodjohnjr you are a Linux user! Welcome aboard.

Thank you, @lokamoka820, I had tried Ubuntu LTS off & on a few times over the years, I even installed it for a few people.

At work, we used CentOS then PCLinuxOS, until our system administrator passed away, and the new system was moved to Microsoft Windows & ChromeOS Flex.

His passing, Proton for Steam, and being tired of the annoyances with Microsoft Windows finally got me to fully switch to Linux (Ubuntu LTS) over a year ago.

Overall, I have not missed Microsoft Windows since, and I have helped several other people move to Linux / Ubuntu LTS.

It was an easy transition, since I was already a fan of free & open source software.

I hope that Osprey Browser Protection can be a free & open source project that grows developers / volunteers / support to keep it alive & well, like Linux.

No - no new updates are needed for now. Still in talks with several providers into coming on board.

Thank you very much for your work on Osprey. Even though you only have DNS blockers. Osprey has also been blocking a lot of phishing and malicious websites..
