[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 764383, member: 51905"] k9 has a huge database, more than most vendors, I assume, besides fortinet, kaspersky, eset,... K9 and malwarebytes have heuristics engine, which can detect and block unknown malicious websites, in exchange of high rate of False positive. Not many vendors have it ublock only block blacklisted websites by third-party filter lists. It fully relies on filters => not as good as a dedicated webfilter. Ublock itself doesn't have any malware filter engine ublock is designed to be an adblocker, not a malware/phishing blocker the advantage is you can whatever filter you want (hundreds, millions) so it can sometimes be better than many webfilter such as heimdal/Thor as I demonstrated in some of my tests I doubt heimdal uses hphosts and their own engine for webfilter because most of the time, heimdal misses very similar links compared to hphosts k9 is a system-wise webfilter, we all know system-wise webfilter usually can cause problem for people ublock is an extension, it doesn't cause as many problems [/QUOTE]
