[QUOTE="plat, post: 957503, member: 74969"] I do have respect for Avast's Web Protection, first of all. Firefox recently implemented its proprietary form of site isolation called [URL='https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission']Fission.[/URL] Link explaining what that is in more detail is embedded. It was the deciding factor for me to abandon Sandboxie for the more long-term future. Firefox only has three ext. now with Strict Internal tracking protection. If you like browser tests and want to compare various browsers, here is one over at "the other forum" where i had an eye-opener testing Firefox. Right now, I use that and Edge interchangeably (banking excluded). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/browseraudit-how-secure-is-your-browser.400243/page-3#post-3029443[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://browseraudit.com/[/URL] I mean, this is someone's personal experience so one can't really paste it into anyone else's and expect the same results. Everyone's use-scenario is different and I'm surely not expecting an iron-clad Firefox security-wise. Never, ever. Still, I've regained a bit of trust and confidence in Firefox lately. I hope Mozilla doesn't screw it up again. [/QUOTE]
