[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 758146, member: 51905"] thank you for letting me know unfortunately, I don't believe if there is any change in their databases which will directly affect the results of testing. I think they just fix some bugs but the detection rate will not change much, unless they implement some heuristics engines, like what malwarebytes extension has => better detection rate against new threats, higher rate of FPs, more impact on browsing performance I'm looking forward to WDBP if they change some algorithms to make it as effective as edge's smartscreen. I think it's not possible because they want users to migrate to Edge rather than protecting their rival's users 1 thing I notice from comodo extension, not sure if it's true: comodo temporarily suspends a webpage from loading until it receives the result of cloud look from comodo's database (usually very quick), then comodo will allow the webpage to load => if comodo's server is down/maintained, we can't load any website until we disable the extension avira extension has the exact same problem WDBP and norton safe web work differently. It allows everything to load and simultaneously looks up for the reputation => everything will load independently of the server status, faster page loading time, similar result [/QUOTE]
