That's interesting. 🤔
I'm experimenting with enabling/disabling Advanced cookie settings. So far the remains remain in both cases. I'll keep trying.I would appreciate if more users would do this test and share their results. 🙂

No, in standard mode.
In some cases, despite the "Clear All" setting in the "Browser Privacy" add-on, cookies/objects will remain after restarting the browser.
If you feel like testing, try the website: https://osel.cz (popular science). For me, 100% of visits will leave an undeleted artefact. -
Can anyone share a similar experience❔

It's a general question.
In Microsoft Edge, there is an option to set "Clear all cookies" when you close the browser. Essentially the same can be set in the "ESET Browser Privacy and Security" add-on.
The problem is that there is probably a bug in Edge that causes all cookies, objects, to not always be deleted. Complete deletion can be achieved by manually starting the deletion process.
The question is therefore whether ESET is aware of this and whether a remedy is planned. Of course meant to correct the functioning of the add-on not the functioning of Edge.

Interesting insight about the incomplete automatic deletion of cookies in Microsoft Edge: https://malwaretips.com/threads/microsoft-edge-stable-chromium-now-available-for-download.95808/page-118#post-1084663
Since ESET's "Browser Privacy" add-on uses Edge's internal processes for deletion, even when the add-on is set to "Delete All", components remain undeleted for this reason. 🤔
Is there a plan to address this situation? -
Maybe I will add.
By purchasing the product (software itself) ESET Smart Security Premium, you have purchased 1 of the Premium service level/package. So you can use this or any lower product - Internet Security, NOD32 Antivirus.
It is the same as if you bought 1pc of the Premium level package, which would entitle you to download the ESET Smart Security Premium product/software, or any lower - Internet Security, NOD32 Antivirus.
-
Essential, Premium, Ultimate are "packages" of services / price levels. Within them, you get the right to install and use the products that are Eset Antivirus, Internet Security, Smart Security Premium, Security Ultimate. It's a bit confusing. 😶
The thing is that for example in the Premium level you can have 5 (3,6,7 - different) products. Each different (on PC, Android, Mac) that are included in the respective price level. So you can't use Security Ultimate, but the highest product would be Smart Security Premium. In doing so, you can also use a lower product Internet Security, or Antivirus. (In this case, however, you are unnecessarily overpaying for a more expensive "package" of services. 👍
At the same time, you need to be careful because the software itself has been slightly renamed. For example, the original ESET Smart Security is now ESET Smart Security Premium....
At least that's my understanding, and it is in our region. If it's different somewhere else in the world, I don't know. 🤔 -
Doesn't this current testing just point to the questions in this topic?

An interesting question was asked on that link:
Is there a way to configure ESET to detect such LoL bin usage ?
Would it be possible?

If you set correct exclusion to backup process you could still see that real time protection is scanning backup files because other system processes could access those files, e.g. spotlight indexer. This could be turned off by correct performance expulsions on target or may be source folders. But if you will exclude so much it is dangerous, you can backup infections too. So if such huge exclusion is used it is important to scan source backup folder[s] by custom on-demand scan with In-Depth profile before backup. This on-demand scan on source data before doing backup is good to do regardless exclusions because od-scan, especially in in-depth profile, does more strong scanning that real time protection. RTP can not do it because strong scannig is time consuming and not too much real time.
Interesting claim that real-time protection has a lower detection capability. Which scan engine settings can remedy this? Real-time protection for newly created and modified files should after all be maximum. Isn't it?

You can disable "Uncategorized" in Web, Parental Controls. This will block access to newly created pages, but you should expect increased FPs. 👍🙂

What does 17.0.16 fix ?
-
When will the products be automatically renamed, e.g. "Internet Security" to "Home Security Essential" in the main GUI window?
Depending on the length of the license, the "old" names could still be in the products for years.
-
I assume he was referring to "Android" as for years a typical symbol, which is suppressed with the release of v.17.

Certainly not, just as we can see a useless picture based on 2 puzzle pieces. But I see your point, wait for the puzzle pieces that are only in the factory right now.
As for DuckDuckGo or Startpage, once you open this search engine, you are no longer a generic user who randomly clicks through the internet. It doesn't mean we shouldn't support these search engines, I just saying that there are people who require proactive protection more than you do.
I appreciate your insight into the topic.
I understand and look forward to seeing what new things are in the pipeline. 👍🙂
-
Yes, I agree. I just see that there is really very little difference in the options. I'm not sure if it was worth creating an add-on because of that.
Also for example "check" web links. When switching to search "images", "video" it doesn't work anymore.
I will still ask you to add alternative search engines. DuckDuckGo, Startpage, etc.

I know about Firefox Exceptions for Cookies and Site Data, do you know, how to do it in Chrome/Edge?
What I meant was this.

Thank you for the clarification.
If I noticed correctly, the option to exclude cookies from deletion is also default in browsers.
For now, the add-on only supports Edge and Chrome. Where can I report interest in other browsers? (Opera, Firefox,...)
Similar search engines. For example, DuckDuckGo.

It allows you to exclude open tabs or whitelisted domains, so you can stay logged in to all your favourite websites, read news, keep gifts in the shopping cart, scroll social media and still cleanup your browser without deleting your browsing sessions.

And does it also bring any new/different setting options than the browser defaults to?
Because if it just copies the browser options where it can be set already, then what is the benefit of a "second" control?
-
How does the "Browser Cleanup" function work?
Does it use the built-in cleaning options of the browser (cookies, history...) or does it work independently and perform the cleaning in a different way?
-
At least the basic DuckDuckGo and StartPage, which will probably please many.
Supporting only Google and Bing for an add-on that is supposed to improve (besides security) users' privacy would be a bit smiley. 😉

What search engines are or will be supported in the future?
(Google Search, DuckDuckGo,....)
Automatic deletion of cookies in Edge by ESET add-on
in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
Posted
Yes, I already know that the ESET add-on works with the browser API. 👍
That's why my original question was whether ESET developers know about the problem with unreliable deletion, or if a solution is in the works.
It's just that, it looks like I can't yet demonstrate whether this bug is global. 😒
