[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 814701, member: 51905"] just had a quick look 1/ it's a 30-day trial extension => not a good sign 2/ visited some known safe websites including banking sites in my country (yahoo.com, google.com, symantec.com...) and some phishings: it only showed Green (safe) only when the website is verified by metacert!!!! (only, metacert made this extension). Otherwise, it would show a black icon (not verified by metacert, Unknown so proceed with caution ) even yahoo and google.com showed "Black", only symantec.com was green. Phishing sites were of course black some banking sites in Vietnam, all were black conclusion: not recommended, the database is not big enough I'm really questioning the effectiveness of emsisoft browser security it almost never blocks anything for me while Google Safe Browsing API and Windows Defender Browser protection have blocked a lot (FPs included) I guess it's good against known malicious websites and has a big database but not great against something very new WDBP and google have more number of users over the world so it could be a factor that they are more effective for me nobody knows about emsisoft in my country, literally [/QUOTE]
