Impressions after about a week of use.

Individual pages seem to load faster, but the behavior of the browser itself before and after loading seems to deteriorate (especially when multiple pages are opened at the same time).
Also, some sites don't respond to reCAPTCHA authentication, which may have been blocked.

I think the ability to detect trackers and block malware domains is high, scam sites (phishing?) aren't counted yet, so I'll leave them out of the current reference.

Haven't really encountered any big issues with it, it works like expected from what I can see. I've been using it since November 2022 on Firefox and before then on Chromium.

MwB Guard slowing down the browser and websites load... and don't know why the extension is using 25.85MB storage size, you should improve the extension to works better and to use less data size.. otherwise is a great extension does exactly what it says and fits nice with the MwB Premium, besides of issues i have with it. :)

I was beside myself for months struggling to get web browsing to be tolerable. By kismet, I disabled browser guard. The heavens opened and SpaceX launches ceased to buffer. I have used Malwarebytes for years and like it, but this extension has a heavy cost in using the internet.

Sadly detected/blocked by YouTube :(

I love this add-on. Sadly I can't have it enabled at all in my browser anymore because of Youtube/Googles witch hunt for adblockers. Even if I allow list youtube via the add-on Youtube stull blocks me from viewing any video at all. Completely disabling the add-on in Firefox settings and I can watch videos again :/

Lots of false positives for phishing recently. Their heuristics are NOT working properly.

A factory reset of Browser Guard has resolved this issue for many users.

To do so:
Open Browser Guard
On the top right, click the 3 vertical dots
Click "Support"
Click "Factory Reset""

Wish I had seen this earlier. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why FF was suddenly so sluggish. It just happened to coincide with getting a new modem from Xfinity so thought that was somehow causing issues. It wasn't until I started disabling addons and got to MBG that everything returned to normal. I was prepared to just leave it disabled, but the above fix worked for me. At least if it happens again, I know where to start. I removed a star from my review for the hair pulling.
