CLUSTER MOBILE-BROWSING-SECURITY · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-05-05

Mobile security & VPN apps

This cluster comprises mobile security applications bundling VPN encryption, malware and spyware scanning, dark web monitoring, scam detection, and privacy features. Entry history spans from December 2009 through March 2026, with most months having a single entry and a few later months with two, showing a long, low-volume but steady stream. Avast One, Norton 360, and Surfshark lead on traction, although all show zero stars in the activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
