[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 914770, member: 82776"] 1. DNS level (because all the filtering is done on the servers of the DNS) 2. Browser build-in (because Microsoft Smartscreen and Google Safe Browsing are top-notch) 3. Antivirus extension (BitDefender Traffic Light would be my choice because I like single purpose extensions and url detection is a numbers game). I simply can't believe than a (community) based blocklist can beat the crawling and honeypot infrastructure of an Antivirus company or monitors as much traffic as a DNS service (e.g. Quad9 or NextDNS) or an OS (Microsoft) or a search engine (Google). It is as likely as Luxemburg winning the world cup soccer. URL filtering is a numbers game,. NOTE I am a firm 'less is more' fan, but for URL filtering 'bigger is better'. [/QUOTE]
