How to stop drive-by downloads on websites

The primary danger of browsing unprotected is encountering drive-by downloads: malicious scripts hidden in compromised websites that force your browser to download a virus without you ever clicking a single button.

The extension performs asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to update the firewall, preventing the Address layer from initiating the connection with the server distributing the malicious file.
