So until recently there was a great web protection program called “Blue Coat K9 Web protection”. It was a freeware program.
It was bought by Symantec(aka Norton web protection) in 2016 because supposedly they thought it would be a good idea to have it as a additional security feature.
But only 3 years later in 2019 K9 Web protection was discontinued because Symantec had made a similar program and didn’t need K9 any more.
They could have sold it to somebody else instead of taking it down for good. Did Symantec just get rid of the competition?
