    Understood,thank you.:)

    P.S.

    I believe that 3 Protection Providers for my needs are sufficient.

    Mouse hover over 'reported by' shows nothing for me.
    1.2.8
    Edge and Vivaldi show nothing.

    I use Edge and it works.:)
    You can try various tests with fake sites:

    Hover your cursor over the Reported by string.

    It works just fine here (Firefox):

    I haven't tried it with Chromium-based browsers because I don't use such browsers, but I'm sure they are also supported.

    This morning after a cold boot (I always completely close down my machines at night) I can see the 'reported by' others on hover.
    I have tested on both Vivaldi and Edge.

    All is well in Osprey land for me again :)

    I read from your FAQ that it is not possible to equip Osprey with HaGeZi DNS.
    But would it be possible to equip Osprey with ControlD - Hagezi's DNS TIF?

    TIF is like having "Online Malicious URL Blocklist",a significant advantage considering that in MV3 adblocks it is useless to select this filter list because it is too outdated.

    P.S.

    I did a test with this 5-day malware not blocked by Osprey:

    https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/url/3562926/

    Even the “Malicious URL Blocklist” filter lists of uBlock Origin Lite and Adguard browser extension (MV3) are evidently too outdated to block the malware.

    The FAQ clearly says that "Hagezi DNS Blocklists" will not be added.
    Taken from the FAQ: If you're thinking of asking for one of these to be added, don't bother.

    I in fact ask if it is possible to add a specific ControlD (TIF) with then third-party filter lists.

    Request to introduce 2 new PPs in Osprey:


    https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/statistics/

    OpenBLD = 4.7 % unblocked malware
    Proton DNS = 7.9 % unblocked malware


    I have already verified that these new PPs are not on your list of unsupported PPs.

    P.S.

    The percentages update in real time.

    OpenBLD has the best score. Why also adding Proton DNS?

    Perhaps what doesn't block one might block the other.;)
    Let's wait if Foulest accepts this request of mine.

    Rejecting OpenBLD - they don't have a way to easily report false positives. I can't find anything on "ProtonDNS" - if you can find their public DNS servers that support DoH, link the page to me.
