You'll need to update the chart as avast has now WebRep as a site rating.
You can see it at Evangelists' board.

Well that technically isn't an avast function built into avast, but a browser add-on by avast. How it develops in the future is not clear.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

And what is it for the others antivirus?
That should be written in the comparison chart.

Yes, but how it is implemented and how it acts isn't clear as know one has said how it will work.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Well aside from the fact that it is a) currently only a beta, b) isn't integral to avast it is only a browser add-on, so we really can't jump the gun and say it is something that it isn't.

Not to mention what category would you be putting it in, in the Comparison list as suggested ?
I can't see a category that fits, so I can't see what other AVs would be calling it in any comparative category. There isn't a category for Web Reputation or anything close that I can see.

Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

I actually added a category for site ratings, since the AV Comparartives summary report for 2010 mentioned site ratings in all their reviews.

Scroll down the page until you find the last chart posted. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=290691&page=2

Just that I didn't see anything in 'this topic' relating to it and this is where I'm commenting.

Not that it makes a whole lot of difference as this currently is in a stand alone browser add-on beta and not incorporated into avast.

Yeah, that is what "site rating" means for me.
