Reviews of microsoft defender browser protection:
I'm removing your extension effective immediately. Leave it to Microsoft to remove something from the most popular browser to make it exclusive to their browser to try to increase market share and make you a product.. I've seen this story regarding Microsoft played out for decades and they still haven't changed. I will never use Edge and this just hardened my resolve. If I were allowed negative 5 stars, you earned it. Oh well, thanks for gift wrapping me and sending me to Brave.
What does this confusing gibberish mean: Thank you for using Microsoft Defender Browser Protection! Developer support for this extension is complete and will be expiring soon. To continue receiving protection from Microsoft, open Microsoft Edge. Open Microsoft Edge
This was a great additional layer of security, BUT, Microsoft is now using it to promote their clone of Chrome, called Edge. I think that is foul considering their Edge product is part of the same Chromium project. RIP Defender extension.
