Please support Arc Browser.

Well I have had no issues with ESET and the security on my machines that are using Brave as the main browser. My only request would be for ESET to zero in on email apps such as Outlook.com for example there are no settings within the software itself to block unwanted and unsolicited mail especially those that use a "No sender" tag on the email.
