Genius idea. I just installed it! What are some things coming down the pipeline?

Thanks! We're working on device support across the board, improved privacy scoring, and toying with the idea of adding Google's Perspective - https://www.perspectiveapi.com.
Apple Safari support in the future? Also, if I'm using a self-updating malware blocklist within extensions such as Ablock Plus, how would Apozy do better than that to prevent phishing?
Safari will definitely be up soon.

The reason why we're better at that than an AdBlock is because we use a whitelist approach. When using a whitelist, all the newest sites and attacks are blocked by default. AdBlock will always be slightly behind on that. Additionally, AdBlock won't protect you from inputting your credentials into a phishing site if you somehow end up on a bad site. As a side benefit, since we don't scan the DOM, we don't slow anything down!
