[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 756709, member: 73546"] Hello Evjl's Rain, 1. Do you think that the Malwarebytes Browser extension developers know about this problem? I reported a bug about two versions or so ago where this extension causes the Smart Naming feature / the default name of streaming videos that you try to download to not work (the name will be changed to a combination of characters instead of the name of the video) in the Video DownloadHelper extension, they confirmed that they were able to reproduce the bug, but sadly it still has not been fixed maybe two versions later so I am currently not using this extension until that gets fixed; and the clickbait feature has some bugs, and seems to only activate on websites that I do not think count as clickbait websites while actual clickbait websites that I have visited do not activate this feature. There are a few other problems with this extension as well, but if they fix those problems and add the ability to report problems from the extension itself and add element hiding and maybe add web search result ratings then this will be a great extension that can perform several different roles. 2. According to the Chrome Store the Windows Defender Browser Protection extension was updated on August 6, 2018, but I have no idea what changed; hopefully they have fixed a few of the bugs that some of us reported (the recovery time issue, the incognito mode block page issue, et cetera), and hopefully the detection is now at least equal to Microsoft Edge's detection. 3. Recently I noticed that you recommended trying the VX Vault list for Ublock Origin (which is very small surprisingly, only 104 entries), and I was wondering if you have tried testing this list against the default malware lists in Ublock Origin to see if this one small list is really better than the default malware lists combined? 4. If the small VX Vault list does really outperform the default malware lists then would you recommend adding any other small malware lists like Malc0de to Ublock Origin? 5. I noticed that Malc0de has three options: Bind format, Windows format, and IP Blacklist; if you were to recommend the Malc0de list(s) as well, which of these would you add to Ublock Origin, are they the same thing or are the first two domain blacklists while the third is just an IP blacklist? 6. Have you and / or anyone that you know of tried sharing tests / recommendations to the Ublock Origin developer(s) to let him / them know how poorly the default malware lists perform and suggest that he / they remove them and / or add some better lists on default and let him / they know which lists perform the best in malware (also grayware, adware, et cetera) blocking without being too big?
