[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 776172, member: 51905"] edge does have decent webfilter but there are many reasons I won't use it - usability is zero for me. It lacks some extensions I need - it lags regardless of what I tweak or put its caches in RAMdrive - I don't update windows frequently so no update for edge + I permanently use windows 8.1 - since edge use smartscreen webfilter, when I use google chrome to download a file, it will be checked by google safe browsing, if GSB is bypassed, windows smartscreen will block that file (rarely bypassed by normal threats). Windows smartscreen > Edge smartscreen > WDBP (~30-60% strength of edge smartscreen) so when I use chrome, I have both GSB and smartscreen fully while with edge, it will be scanned by weaker smartscreen and then scanned with stronger SS => same by the way, it's my mistake to overly promoted comodo because it's crap. It's like a vxvault fillter with 1-2-day delay. I notice comodo tends to block a lot vxvault links more than other extensions, but vxvault doesn't have real fresh links when I switch to new sources, comodo always performs extremely poorly I would say adding vxvault list to ublock is similar to adding comodo [/QUOTE]
