Osprey: Browser Protection

If you enable notifications, you will see both:

 

... and here is an URLhaus sample showing both warnings:

 

Thanks for the explanation, Buddel. I didn't even know people would have this problem, lol

Maybe push notifications are disabled in your browser. Here is a tutorial that will show you how to enable and disable push notifications in MS Edge:

There are similar tutorials available for other browsers. Hope this helps.

 

Hi @Buddel
Thanks again for helping. I was curious why I'm not seeing browser notifications. I've no issues with full page block. I was curious what Enable notifications did/does. Thanks again

Hi @ Wilders

Just had Wilders website blocked by Osprey.Oh dear!

Terry

 

Same here. Strictly speaking, it was "MalwareURL Protection" that blocked access to Wilders. I disabled this provider (which is disabled by default, by the way).

 

@bjm_
Maybe you should open an issue at GitHub: https://github.com/Foulest/Osprey/issues

 

Yeah, maybe. Since, we'll see full page block by default. Why a "browser notification" too?
What's under the three horizontal dots?

Maybe, my O&O Shutup10++ is causal?

 

A browser notification is not really needed because you see a full page telling you what has been blocked, but there are some users who would like to have this additional notification.

 

Hi again @Buddel
you got me there -> O&O Shutup10++ switch was causal

Okay...I don't need Osprey: Browser Protection 5 sec toaster pop up.

 

Good to know you have found the culprit.

 

Regards w Respect

 

I re-enabled the provider "MalwareURL Protection" a couple of minutes ago just to find out that it is currently blocking access to almost all websites, including google.com. Don't know what's going on here, but I think I'd better keep this provider disabled.



It's not just on my end, it seems:

PS: I asked "MalwareURL Protection" support to whitelist Wilders earlier today. This is currently the only website that is not blocked if this provider is enabled.

 

MalwareURL will be removed in Osprey moving forward (versions 1.2.2 and beyond once the update comes out).

 

1.2.2 should be out shortly.

 

1.2.3 should also be out shortly.

PS: Just got the update for Firefox.

 

It looks like Quad9 DNS has been removed as well.

 

Where are you seeing this?

 

Yes, all legal reasons. Nothing to worry about.

 

In the 1.2.4 Firefox options. I don't see Quad9 in the four pages, unless I'm going blinder that I thought.

 

Another Firefox user here using the latest version of Osprey. I see Quad9 Security DNS (page 4).
