[QUOTE="JiSingh12, post: 775421, member: 74685"] Do you not use any at all from the extension itself? i use Nano Adblocker, but literally always tick every single one included. I used to have 1,755,916 network filters + 131,754 cosmetic filters on my PC,i have cut down now ofc. On my MBP i just use Squidblacklist, + all filters in Nano Adblocker because they all seem to be doing their own thing and blocking separate sites that i probably would visit due to my constant urge to visit random sites and explore the internet , it also depends on how much resources people don't mind using or how much protection they think they require, i go overkill for security/privacy using the many free products available to me, which are surprisingly good. [USER=51905]@Evjl's Rain[/USER], at the moment i use Chrome on my MBP, with no security extension apart from netcraft and the filters within Nano, however, i would like to know, if using an extension like BTL or MB is counted as an additional security step or if it replaces Chrome Safe Browsing? e.g if a malicious download passed BTL, would safe browsing then stop it (if detected), or would it just download straight away completely bypassing safe browsing?
