Thanks for sharing these results. It's clear that Norton SafeWeb and G Data WebProtection are performing impressively. It's also interesting to see how Cloudflare security DNS and DNS0.eu Security DNS compare to others. This will be useful for users when choosing web extensions for security.

DNS.EU was giving me a lot of false positives so I just disabled it.

Yes; it is a bit aggressive.
I use ControlD (malware and ads) for my modem router and as DoH for the browser.
Not perfect for blocking ads but can replace ad-blocker extensions if you mind using extensions.

Is this data just for comparison? These services do not seem to be available in Osprey.


G Data seems to be impressive. At this level of detection it gives me no false positives in everyday use.

Yes, for comparison.
G Data excelled in both phishing and malware websites.
Actually, all of URLhaus malicious websites links were dead; I don't know if they were prevented by my dns settings (controld)!
