Avast is a privacy nightmare. They do a lot of shady things in the background, make fool of their customers using constant annoyances, give them a false sense of danger and try to pursue users to buy their VPN, etc. They used to have a overseer.exe file that remained in the system even after uninstalling the product and it would send data to their server. What the hell!!! Their installer bundles Google Chrome in it too. In terms of protection it's a good product but I find those constant nagging, privacy issues unbearable. Avast itself feels like a PUP to me. Maybe it's better if you ditch their product and try other better products free from all these problems.

These websites tend to have lot of advertising , while their ads might contain some kind of JS loads , even if the website is safe , it might be malicious ads' servers , or might be the website is hijacked.
Keep your uMatrix , it's good
Yes, it seems a lot of threats spread through JS nowadays. So, something like uMatrix/Nocript/uBlock Origin in medium mode is another added layer of protection. So for me, uBlock Origin with a good amount of filters, uMatrix and there's also Eset of course 😎

With the uMatrix statement that you have said , means that when uMatrix is blocking JS then ESET detects nothing because there are no JS being loaded , while you go to Edge and have JS loaded , then ESET blocks JS script from loading.
I believe that the website may have malicious codes.
Yes, that's right.

Actually, it's not detecting the video player as malicious but rather a malicious javascript that the site is loading. My Firefox has uMatrix installed that blocks third party scripts loading so I don't see this warning from Eset and the video plays fine but in Microsoft Edge, I only have an adblocker but not uMatrix and there Eset is showing that it has detected and removed the script. So, not a false positive I think, rather a unsafe javascript.

Description: A Manage application section like Kaspersky or an Application network rules section like Kaspersky or maybe both.
Details: Currently there is no way to know which programs I ran on my PC that was trusted by Eset or not. By having an Application manager it would make really easy give a detailed representation. Eset already kind of has this but that's for running processes only but not for all the products and also this window just shows information but I can't interact with it like it's possible in Kaspersky.
And for Firewall, it's possible to add rules for specific programs of course but it would be better if there was list of all applications to show what is set to allowed by Eset and what not. This should be interactive too so if a user want to deny let's say "Cleaner" internet connection then the he/she would select Ccleaner from the list and deny it internet access instead of the current situation where user need to manually browser the program to block it in Firewall. The current implementation should always be there of course but my proposed interface would make everything much easier. Also a program can have multiple files that access to the internet. From this list it would be much easier to find that out. So, overall user experience would improve a lot.
To have a closer look you may try installing Kaspersky to understand how this two mode works on their product. I don't want Eset to have the exact same to same that Kaspersky has but the basic idea should be the same.
I love Eset because it's great product and super lite. But I want Eset to have these features. I'm sure it's not just me but everybody would appreciate it and it will make the product even better.Examples:
Lack of details and options in the new phising page detection alert in version 12.2.23.0
in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
Posted · Edited by SeriousHoax
The upcoming Eset version 12.2.23.0 changed the alert page in browser while detecting phishing and malicious page. But this new window lacks details and options compared to the current one. No way to ignore, go back and report as false positive from the window. Having those options like the current one would be better (I use a dark theme extension that's why the theme is dark).
