[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 821337, member: 50782"] I am using Edge-chromium at the moment with two user profiles. Having two user profiles allows you to have the best of both worlds (protection vs compatibility). I named the two profiles Surfing & Socializing (with tight security settings) and Booking & Banking (with default settings for maximum compatibility). Using a different USER icon provides visual feedback which profile is active. On Chrome, Chromium and Edge_Chromium you can specify in the shortcut which profile to use (add the switch --profile-directory="PROFILE NUMBER" look in the USER DATA folder to find which numbers the folders have). In the Surfing & Socializing profile I use uBlockOrigin as explained in this thread. In the Buying & Banking profile I use Certificate Info [URL='https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/certificate-info/jhldepncoippkjgjkmambfglddmjdmaj'](link[/URL]) and Netcraft extension ([URL='https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netcraft-extension/bmejphbfclcpmpohkggcjeibfilpamia']link[/URL]) and Virus Total ([URL='https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vtchromizer/efbjojhplkelaegfbieplglfidafgoka']link[/URL]) for extra check on trustworthiness of website. As a rule of thumb I use the info of these extensions as follows (there are three levels of certificates) [LIST] [*]DV = Domain Validation (displayed as orange with DV in padlock) 'only' says the domain is controlled by the party requesting the certificate, is the lowest level of trust [I]ONLY USE for online buying when ( Netcraft risk rating is zero and Virus Total reports it is safe )[/I] [*]IV = OV = Organisation Validation (Displayed as GREY with IV in padlock) Identiy is checked also (and displayed) is a considered a 'trusted'level [I]SHOULD BE SAFE TO USE for a) well known brands with Netcraft risk rating 10 or less OR b) unknown brandswith ( Netcraft risk rating 10 or less and VT reports it is safe )[/I] [*]EV = Extended Validation (Displayed as GREEN with EV in padlock) is the highest trustlevel CA has audited & validated requesting party to be legal, operational and physical existence SAFE TO USE (unless Netcraft and VT both report it is unsafe and the website) [/LIST] With these rules of thumb the risk of doing business with a phishing/malicious website is very low.
