![]() Why does this matter? Because, the CASC warns, while some aspects of browser security are getting better, it expects the number of phishing sites to rocket next year. "While browser filters such as Microsoft Smart Screen and Google Safe Browsing do a good job at detecting many phishing sites… most phishing sites are set up and taken down in a matter of hours, not days, this means many thousands of users are not meaningfully protected by browser filters," it said. ![]() Even this improved performance isn't good enough though, complains CASC. In two days, Edge had closed off 97 per cent of dodgy sites, with Chrome and Firefox trailing with 95 per cent. Edge outperformed Chrome and Firefox when it came to quickly spotting and blocking: It immediately stopped 89 per cent of phishing sites in their tracks some 10 per cent higher Chrome and 12 per cent more than Firefox.
