[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 764637, member: 32260"] When using [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]Google for finding the websites[/B][/COLOR] + Google Safebrowsing, the user have a mix of popularity and detection factors. So, in my personal opinion, this is not a bad solution for most average users. Furthermore, the [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]first factor [/B][/COLOR]can be even more important for the users' security.(y) I think, that both Google Safebrowsing and WDEG 'Network Protection' are based on URL blacklists. Simply, Google Safebrowsing (also Edge SmartScreen) uses often the shortened URLs and WDEG 'Network Protection' uses the full URLs. I could see that behavior when testing the same links in Edge + SmartScreen and with Firefox + WDEG 'Network Protection". The first mostly showed the red-block-webpage, when the second showed the normal webpage with WD alerts. In some cases WDEG 'Network Protection" blocked also the webpge, especially for links like: [B]hxxp://abc.def/favicon.ico[/B]. [/QUOTE]
