[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 957581, member: 90494"] I tried browsing with and without the Avast extension last night and wound up re-enabling it on all 3 browsers. I guess I just got used to having it around and if for nothing else than the link reputation function when searching Bing or Google. The browser speed is slightly faster without the extension but is not enough of a difference to matter to me. It also blocks trackers and shows it blocks the same trackers that Edge reports it has blocked, so I guess it must be doing its job well enough. I looked into the McAfee extension on the McAfee web site and the Chrome web store, I still prefer the Avast one. Even so, I got a notice from Avast this morning saying in the next few days they will be making some changes to the AV, and it also said "change is good" but it did not give any other details so who knows if they will keep Avast or the extension the same. For now I am leaving everything as is. Thanks again. C.H. [/QUOTE]
