    MB Browser Guard is selective in it's blocking. Went to update my MB subscription and discovered only by reading the source code that I was being tracked by adobetm.com. This add-on was running even for private pages and gave it a clean bill of health. Go figure!

    Hi there, thank you for bringing this to our attention!
    We have added adobetm.com to our block list.

    Horrible, broke websites from loading certain sections, is not able to catch all trackers either.

    Couldn't figure out why on many retail websites, the "Customer Reviews" section of the page would be missing or not work.

    Once I removed this this add-on, the reviews appeared once again.

    No option to white list websites so I just removed the add on.

    I don't know what has changed but I can no longer see reviews at Costco.com on Chrome and only turning off this extension (or going Ingognito) fixes it? Bug???

    Hi there!

    Thank you for providing us with the website link. I was able to verify what you stated.
    It is being caused by the Ads/Trackers blocking feature of Browser Guard.

    The review link may have an advertisement or tracker link 'baked in' which is being blocked. For now, when you find one of the review links that do not work, click the Blue M icon in the top right of your browser to open Browser Guard and turn off the slider for Ads/Trackers.

    Reload the website and the reviews link should load.

    Unfortunately I encountered an issue with this extension that automatically cancelled my image downloads. There was no way to fix this, so I had to uninstall this altogether. If there was an option to turn that off, then I'd give this 5 stars.
    Other than that, this extension served it's purpose of blocking access to shady websites which I really appreciated, but that download cancellation thing became too annoying to deal with.

    Hey Ty, you're right, that is annoying and I'm sorry you had this experience! We've identified the source of this bug and we will get it fixed as soon as possible.
    If you decide to reinstall the extension, you can workaround this bug till the fix is live. Click on the extension icon and temporarily disable "Scams Protection" on the page you want to download from.

    (1) Kullanmak için e-posta adresi ile kayıt olmak gerekiyor! (2) Engelleme kategorilerindeki filtre listelerini görüntülemek ve liste ekleme ve çıkarma imkanı yok! (3) uBlock Origin ile birlikte yaptığım testte, engelleme başarı yüzdesi %25-30 düzeyinde.

    (1) It requires to register with your email address to use! (2) It is not possible to view or add and remove filter lists in blocking categories! (3) In my test with uBlock Origin, the percentage of blocking success is 25-30%.!!

    - Whitelisting for "Ads/Trackers" doesn't seem to work.
    - According to the graph everything ever blocked was blocked today, meaning it is just one straight line from 0 to the total block count.

    Not sure what the point of this is, if you can just install an adblocker like uBlockOrigin. It will take care of most malware on the web, and you can also block javascript with it if you really want.

    Too many sites classified as "clickbait"; sites that are similar to aforementioned clickbait sites aren't flagged as such. Extension continues trying to block ads and flagging clickbait despite having the option disabled. Not really worth use at this point.

    Acabo de instalarla, espero lo mejor.

    He hagut de desinstal·lar l'extensió perquè m'ho bloca quasi-absolutament tot. Google maps, Bing maps... bye bye malwarebytes.
