Because only want that avast! scans extensions that could contain some threat, and not all of them...
This will improve the speed of my browsing...
I don't think so, for 2 reasons:
1. My guess is that the vast majority of the browsing consists of HTM(L), JPG, GIF; you can handle (exlude) these extensions manually, if you want. Excluding some extensions from the small rest will make negligible difference.
2. I may be wrong, but I think that the browser processes the data according to the MIME type, not according to the extension, so it may actually not be safe to exlude additional extensions.
