[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 748222, member: 51905"] hello thank you for comment. I really appreciate that for these extensions, I probably won't include them in the future because they have been proven to be ineffective against malwares. In the past, I didn't test them simultaneously, I tested each link 1 by 1, so no need for more recovery time some of them are not designed to block malwares: avast, WOT some of them only block a link when the link is fully loaded -> too late to intercept download malwares: avast, bitdefender Panda maliciously changes your search engine to mystart -> no one wants to use it DrWeb: only works when you right-click on the link-> scan with drweb => so it doesn't block links when you browse mcafee: only warns but doesn't block I don't think they would, they don't want to give their products for free BD has an extension but it is crap avast released their extension to block phishings because avast antivirus has a weak phishing filter norton has close to useless web filter so they have to use extension for that purpose and to supplement download insight [/QUOTE]
