- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18402738, 16 ġranet iluAnnoying popup when copying things to clipboard. Constantly deletes items on my clipboard whenever it feels like it. Causes WordPress backend to crash. Youtube adblock complains that Mbam is messing with ad scripts. This extensions acts more like malware itself.

Developer response
posted 5 ġranet iluThis sounds like an issue with your Firefox browser, not Browser Guard because Firefox does the installation, not us.

- Rated 1 out of 5by aaa, 5 xhur iluPlease, please fix the issue with youtube adblock. I really want to use this addon but youtube keeps blocking me from watching due to malwarebytes messing with the ads system even when turned off for the website.

posted sena iluA 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"- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17828419, sena iluSince the last update my browser has become very very slow.
Web pages take up to 10 - 20 seconds to land.
I am a premium member of Malwarebytes for Windows Desktop.
If it does not run properly again by next week, I will have to look for an alternative.Developer response

posted sena iluNotifications should be occuring once per site, per tab to indicate a malicious url was blocked.
If you are seeing these notifications a lot, this is probably evidence of an infection on your machine that Browser Guard is protecting you from.

Followup to your followup:
I have both apps on both computers, so that can't be the problem. On the computer in question I don't get the Mozilla logo on the bar at the top -- but I do get it on the other computer. And on the second computer, the M shows how many intrusions it's blocking.
I sort of solved my problem by uninstalling Microsoft Edge, which I don't use anyway. Most of the tracking cookies were going into files with "Edge in the name.
You may have a problem with Microsoft trying to place cookies and bypassing Malwarebytes browser blocker.... Just a thought.
Anyway, very disappointed in the lack of problem-specific access to a qualified Malwarebytes tech.Developer response
posted sena iluIf SuperAntiSpyware is a desktop app, it probably operates on the Network driver layer. Since Browser Guard is operates at the browser layer, if my assumption is correct, SuperAntiSpyware would get access to block first. Which might be why you see so many blocks from it and not Browser Guard.
I'm sorry for the delay in getting tech support, but it sounds like we need more details than I can gather here.
