I think you won't be disappointed. It's one the best right now.Think I may think about replacing Emsisoft with trafficlight eventually.

BDTL & WDBP > Emsi. MBBG may be better but I have issues with its weight and bloat.So, now that time has passed. What is the general opinion here of Emsisoft browser security?
Did the latest BDTL ask you for new permissions to interact with programs outside of the browser? The Firefox app asked me that the other day. So I deleted it.BDTL & WDBP > Emsi. MBBG may be better but I have issues with its weight and bloat.
What would be a good alternative to BDTL?Did the latest BDTL ask you for new permissions to interact with programs outside of the browser? The Firefox app asked me that the other day. So I deleted it.
If you mean this permission "Communicate with cooperating native applications" then yes.Did the latest BDTL ask you for new permissions to interact with programs outside of the browser? The Firefox app asked me that the other day. So I deleted it.
Okay, thanks, must be something on my system then. Was not blocking anything after the update. Will try again.If you mean this permission "Communicate with cooperating native applications" then yes.
@Gandalf_The_Grey - it's working well here.
For Edge (I use the beta) I just let smart screen do it’s thing.What would be a good alternative to BDTL?
Latest version doesn't work reliable anymore with Edge Dev.
If I remember correctly it was worded slightly differently on FF, but I could be misremembering. I actually had it disabled already. MBBG works fine for me in FF, which I don’t use all the time anyway.If you mean this permission "Communicate with cooperating native applications" then yes.
I usually do the same, but SS missed some fresh links I just tested. There were a few very slick imitation sites, e.g. PayPal, etc. But who doesn't check their address bar when they go to site where they sign in for email, payments, etc.???For Edge (I use the beta) I just let smart screen do it’s thing.
I have the same feeling with BDTL, like no response .... i use beta Edge chromium.Okay BDTL still not working like before. Less aggressive. Normally it blocks first before SmartScreen kicks in. Now most of the time no response.
Have swapped with Malwarebytes Browser Guard. MBG kicks in befor SmartScreen. Sort of how BDTL was before the last update.
Tested this with the latest links of VX Vault and with OpenPhish.
I’ve seen that comment from MB before, and I’m not sure. The premium is pretty good at web filtering and blocking malicious sites. I think the extension helps block ads/unwanted sites. If you just want a malware/phishing filter I’ve always felt the premium was enough. I know they say they block it with signatureless, but I’m not sold on it.With the recent change in Bitdefender's Traffic Light permissions and some privacy concerns, I've been trying to find a suitable replacement for it. Malwarebytes Browser Guard seems like a good choice, but I already have Malwarebytes Premium (a lifetime license) that includes a web component.
At first I thought it would be redundant to have both the Malwarebytes extension and the web component (from Premium) active. I did find this this post on the Malwarebytes forums saying that they complement each other.
What are y'alls thoughts on this?

I find premium to not bog down my own system, but that extension plus premium would probably slow down things quite a bit on a modest system. I do find FF slightly slower when I use the MBBG extension. However the difference between a page loading twice as fast as 1 second isn’t a big difference to me. I’m not constantly hopping pages. But I’ve seen a couple load painfully slow.It looks like a great extension, but I feel some slowdown when opening pages.
