Hello and welcome to this test!
The goal is to see which Internet browser effectively protects our browsing against phishing and malicious downloads.
So I tested the 3 most used browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome), and 3 browsers coming from private companies (Avast, Comodo, Yandex) .
The result will surprise you....

Spoiler: Result

Yandex : 0 phishing blocked / 0 malware blocked
COMODO Dragon : 1 Phishing blocked / 0 malware blocked
Microsoft Edge : 1 Phishing blocked / 4 malware blocked
Google Chrome : 0 Phishing blocked / All malware's blocked
Mozilla Firefox : 4 Phishing blocked / 7 malware blocked
Avast Secure Browser : All Phishing's blocked / All malware's blocked

Winner : Avast Secure Browser

Did you have any add-ons or are they just strait from the box

 

[TairikuOkami]

So for the max protection: Avast Online Security extension + Microsoft Defender Application Guard Extension + DNS with Google Safe Browsing + Smartscreen

Browsers are default, no plugin has been installed. Exception for Yandex where I activated their DNS filtering and Comodo too.

Major surprise. It appears AVAST is actively working on improving the browser. What surprised me, too, is that the AVAST browser is at default settings, with no tweaks.

Avast: take a thief to catch a thief?

 

[Pixelman]

Nice, is doing LibreWolf and Brave on the table for later?

Interesting results . Firefox still a favourite browser of mine. I expected better from Edge with SmartScreen.

Apparently Comodo completely stopped investing serious efforts in the development of its browser. Yandex specializes more in the protection against phishing and malicious sites in the Russian Internet segment, so such a result. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge worked out poorly enough, Firefox - medium. Avast is fine.

Comodo Dragon is one of Comodo's products they actually update regularly but just mainly Chromium base albeit behind the curve in releases. I don't know how often their DNS is updated but it's only IPV4 and browser addon now only on chrome and not updated since 2020. I wait with baited breath with regards to which browser I'll use when V3 comes out but Edge integrates with my setup best.

Comodo suffers from attention deficit disorder. Their firewall is an exception, and has been maintained until lately. Now, I'm not sure they're doing anything with it.

interesting result in comparison to PC Channel video

App Review - Most Secure Browser? Chrome vs Firefox vs Edge | The PC Security Channel

malwaretips.com

where Edge came out on top ahead of Chrome & Firefox. That result made me "feel good" as I had recently made Edge my default browser over the past few weeks, concluding that it worked the best on my system (or my imagination). Now, do I have to rethink that, and install Avast browser?? I notice no one of the first 11 replies stated that they use Avast and like it. Avast had other issues right in reference to @Jan Willy's post?

Avast had been accused of spying with their firm Jumpshot in 2020.
When this came to light, it caused a big drama and Avast shut down their company while apologizing.

Since no charges were found in 2022, I consider this resolved.

Avast winds down Jumpshot, cites user data sale privacy concerns

Avast’s CEO said the move is “absolutely the right thing to do.”

Thanks for the info & links. I had vaguely heard something about this, but I had stepped away from MT for about 2 years (busy doing something else)

@Shadowra I like your desk setup! (P.S. Stay away from Banks in British Columbia)

This is the basic one on Windows 11 (on my personal pc, I have better ^^ )

Hopefully you got the humor behind the picture. It was a 1980's movie called "The Flight of the Navigator" The main child actor later decided to rob a bank in BC and got caught...I think it was in 2016.

Of course

I revisited this thread today, 21 Dec, and decided to download the avast browser, but my ESET blocked it from downloading. I think I had read that before somewhere,, but did not see it mentioned in this thread, fwiw.

I don’t expect Brave to do any better than Chrome.
