Thanks for your comments!
We are planning additional improvements of this feature in the future, such as adding trustworthiness rating (as you suggested), also categories and notes.
Family protection mode requires more improvements indeed and this work is also scheduled for the future.

"Found a bug?" button invokes
mailto:link, which should open your default email program. In any case you can send email to the address I specified directly. Why we need email of the sender is that we can contact the reporter for more details if necessary.Ville

"Found a bug?" button invokes
mailto:link, which should open your default email program.probably only if configured or something is chosen as default.
for me (for example, Windows 10 and no email program in use) - it will ask "How do I prefer to open this?" with a small list of programs (mostly browsers and the option to find an app in the Microsoft Store and a checkbox of remember choice or not).
Then it probably depends on the settings in the browser.
for me - Microsoft Edge will simply open the browser and display the "homepage" (start page), while Firefox, for example, will have mailto: template in the address bar and a dialog box asking you to select an application(?! or kind of pre-defined services/websites) to open paths for this protocol.
// by the way, I recently tried sending an email to a Windows-specific email address. And I did not receive an autoreply (as 'usually' can be there). I did receive an automatic reply to one letter(report) before this attempt and to the next letter (report) after this attempt.
So, does this particular letter/report (without initial auto-reply) mean something like rejected/in spam? I tried to send further letter 'within' thread without any output.
Sorry for spamming. :(

Not spamming @Ukko a helpful and informative post for me :) I hadn't tried FF, and was able to get somewhere with it, just not to my Proton email account as I don't use the desktop notifier, have that app to choose from. I'd have to look into it more to figure it out.
I did get a conformation of the email/zip files sent, so we'll see where that leads.

It really is a nice addition, hopefully our submissions are reviewed in a timely manner.

About 3 days ago, I had uninstalled the beta, and wanted to reinstall it. The previous code was no longer accepted, so I used the link above yesterday. I had an acknowledgment email from the beta team this Monday morning, along with another link to enter my email address into, which I was then sent the new download and code. It all went very smoothly and quickly.
Thank you from my end F-Secure, for your help :)

Hi team,I have officially joined the F-Secure Beta Program with my registered email, which has been granted full beta access permission.However, my current forum account is still an Observer role. I can browse all public discussion boards normally, but I am unable to create new posts or reply within the Beta section.I have double-checked that my forum bound email is completely consistent with the email I used to sign up for the beta program. Could you please manually synchronize my beta tester permission to this community account and upgrade my user group so I can submit bug reports and feature feedback in the Beta forum normally?Thank you very much for your help.

I believe your "role" is your "rank". Which means "observer" is a newer user. Your rank will increase the more you participate. However, you should be able to reply or make a new post in certain categories. Have you tried going into a category you would like to answer or add on to & scrolling to the bottom to where it says "Leave a Comment"? Leave a comment means to make a post in that category. Also to reply to a comment, hit the "Quote" in the bottom left of that post & that should take you to the "Leave a comment" part at the bottom. I'm not sure I'm completely understanding what you're asking. But I hope that helps.
