User reviews

I can understand the desire to charge for it, but to put pretty much the whole functionality behind a paywall makes the extension pointless when there are so many free alternatives. There isn't even an option of a trial to see the effectiveness before purchase. Having it real time is the only way it makes sense. If you wanted to put the zero day component as a pro component and leave the aged signatures for free after a certain point, I could understand it, but to completely leave it out unless someone pays is just ridiculous.

Why does "AI & Computer Vision Zero-Day Phishing" option always get turned off?
