Questions
Does this slow down browsing?
Usually the reverse: blocked ads and trackers never load.
What if it blocks something we need?
Add it to the allow list from the dashboard, or ask us.
Does it replace antivirus?
No: it's an extra layer that stops many threats before they load; keep endpoint protection too.
