I have enjoyed the protections offered by Guardio. My only complaint is that it does not cross-over to my default browser of DuckDuckGo. I prefer not to use Edge.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Guardio Protection for Edge requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
