[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 748470, member: 73546"] Hello Evjl's Rain, You are welcome. Thank you for answering that and for sharing those extra details because I did not know some of that information, I think that Avast Online Security was updated recently but I doubt that they changed much if anything, and I am surprised and disappointed by how some of them have performed in your tests so far because I expect better from Avast and Bitdefender et cetera; and I am somewhat surprised that Panda is allowed to keep their browser extension at the various stores when their extension using that kind of malicious-like behavior (which is unacceptable in my opinion, especially for a security company). Yeah, but I think that those security companies could use extensions to help them improve their products and possibly win over new customers. I am surprised by Comodo Online Security's improvement in your latest test, I wonder what happened? Hopefully Comodo will continue to improve it and add new features instead of abandoning it. I am also surprised by how bad Norton Safe Web performed in your latest test, that is probably the worst that it has performed so far; I hope that they will update the extension to improve it and add the ability to report websites et cetera from the extension itself and add adblocking and improve the search results rating system because there are too many unrated websites by them. Avira Browser Safety is good but its memory and CPU usage is out of control, I have seen it go over 600 MB before, they seriously need to fix that; and I hope that they will add the ability to report websites and issues from the extension itself. The Malwarebytes extension has a lot of potential and I hope that they will add the ability to report websites and other issues from the extension itself, that they will add element hiding et cetera for the adblocking or just incorporate Ublock Origin's code for adblocking, that they will add ratings for search engine / image / video / et cetera results, that they will fix some of the bugs, et cetera. I hope that Microsoft will update their extension to fix the recovery issue and how sometimes its resource usage is higher than it should be, add the ability to report websites and other issues from the extension itself, maybe add adblocking, add ratings for search results, and improve its detection to equal or surpass Microsoft Edge's detection. I also hope that Adguard will improve their detection, and the default settings and lists for their extension and the resource usage for it. I think that Ublock Origin's default lists and default available lists should probably be updated to remove the less effective lists and add more effective lists and enable a better selection of default lists, I wish that there was an option to report missed ads and websites to the creators of whichever lists you are using through the extension itself, and I hope that more developers will join in its development so that it can keep going if something happens to the developer; I also wish that some of the community lists creators would join their lists together and work together when it makes sense to do so. Anyway, thank you for replying, and keep up the good and valuable work. -John Jr [/QUOTE]
