posted 8 days agoThanks for letting us know, this is a known issue with this version of our Firefox addon.
It will be addressed in the next version. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14836140, 18 days agoGreat for blocking cookies and pop-ups, but really slows down browsing experience. Even had to tur off multiple times, especeally at online shoppings and when I was trying to sign up to website like Incogni or Gumroad.
I hope Malwarebytes improves it soon.Developer response
posted 8 days agoThank you for the feedback, we have a brand new version coming soon. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18294556, 23 days agoIt works as far as I can tell and I appreciate the protection. What I can certainly do without is the large annoying pop up informing me every time this extension blocks something. It should work silently or at least have the option to disable notifications.

To customize this behavior:
- Click on Malwarebytes Browser Guard icon in your browser's toolbar.
- Click on the Gear icon in the top right.
- Scroll down to Notifications
- In this section, you may toggle any notifications - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18123039, 25 days agocannot log into reddit with the ads/trackers block turned on.
it is also unfortunate the extension is not getting the updates other browsers are.Developer response

Since all browsers have moved to a new technology for extensions, we have been rewriting the extensions to support this requirement. Firefox has unfortunately taken longer to get right.
Rest assured though, we are still sending protection updates to our Firefox extension; up to 12 times a day. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15480928, a month ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by cadkitten, 3 months agoThis extension does not work with tumblr at all. At first it just denied me the ability to see the post screen when I went to make a post. Then it began to do the same thing to reblogs. At this point, it actively goes to a black screen after approximately 1-2 seconds of seeing any page. I turn this single extension off, presto, everything works again. Turn it back on, boom, all black screens again. Since I use tumblr all the time, this means I cannot use this extension (that I dearly want to use!). Please please fix it so I can use tumblr again. Thanks!

posted 3 months agoHi there,
This is due to a conflict with our Easylist protection, we will fix it on our side.
In the meantime, you can toggle Easylist on/off on Tumblr, by:
1. Navigating to Tumblr
2. Click on the Browser Guard icon in your browser's toolbar.
3. In the list of trackers blocked, you will see "Easylist".
4. Click on the "..." next to it.
5. Click "Allow on this website"

- Rated 3 out of 5by AMCarter3, a year agoI installed Malwarebytes Browser Guard on Firefox and Safari many months ago. It appears to work well in Firefox. However, in Safari the question is... how do I update it to the current version? There are 4 Browser Guard extensions added to Safari Settings. All 4 are ver 2.0.1, yet the App Store indicates the latest version released 10/25/23 is ver 2.1... and after opening it, it claims the new version is installed and active. However, it was NOT installed. The version in my Applications folder is still ver 2.0.1. This is very confusing.

- Rated 3 out of 5by FoxInBox, 2 years agoПользуюсь расширением несколько лет. Около месяца назад расширение стало сильно тормозить загрузку страниц. Я сбросил настройки расширения к заводским. Это частично помогло. Загрузка страниц всё равно занимает в 2-3 раза больше времени при включенном расширении. Надеюсь, что проблема будет исправлена.
I've been using the extension for several years. About a month ago, the extension began to eriously slow down page loading. I reset the extension to factory settings. This partially helped. Page loading still takes 2-3 times longer with the extension enabled. Hope the problem gets fixed.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi there, please reach out at support.malwarebytes.com. We'd like to see your logs if possible to find out why the factory reset did not fix your speed issue. - Rated 3 out of 5by BAZ.Andreas, 2 years agoI was happy to see this on firefox but .....there is a big one, after install watch how nice it works then close the browser and later on all my performance and page loading went down hill just like i was 56kb/s .....

Мне пришлось отказаться от использования этого расширения до момента его наилучшей оптимизации! Optimise the product better!
