Why is there no standard Option / Setting to not show the ICON in the Adress-Bar and I have to manually hide it via FireFox if I want it on without showing the distracting Icon, also a second Option to NOT show the numbers of currently blocked items on the icon is necessary, AdBlockPlus for example does both of this, as they know some people don't want to be distracted and need to manage their space in bars on their own.

Malwarebytes Premium is by far the best protection you can get for your computer. This Browser Guard is also great, I've been using it for a few months, wanted to try it before writing my review.

Nice

EDIT:Okay finally they fixed it, yay! I can now give it the proper rating it deserves!

Original review: This extension literally blocks all downloads. Until they fix this, I consider it faulty and not worth a positive rating.

Add me to the list of those having downloads instantly cancelled. Just started recently. No problems before. Just image files at first and today started blocking .mp4 files. Help!!

Update - just added Malwarebytes Browser Guard to Chrome and the downloads work fine.

For some reason, this addon started to instantly cancel any image downloads. I could work around this but it was easier just to disable the add on.

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.

I am really satisfied with this extension on FF 64bits but, surprisingly, the latest update brought a weird bug with image file types only: Malwarebytes browser guard won’t let me save them (using right click on an image then “Save image as”) unless I disable it. In the download pane, it reads “Canceled” under the image filename. And I only mean the action “Save image as” coz when I use right click then “Save link as” when an image file has a download link then it is saved. I checked the extension on chrome (32 and 64bits) and it works OK with “Save image as”. Edit: Bug corrected. 5 stars back!

Awesome addition to your anti-malware arsenal. I thought this type of add-in had been missing from MBytes products. Hope they are going to support it for many years to come like their main product as browsers becoming more of a necessity today. Generally, I'm very glad to use this add-in, and think it's a good start in the right direction. Thank you.

This Firefox extension has a beautiful UI and works as advertised. I've discovered no issues.

It's worth a few clicks to add this to your 2020 browser experience.

edit: and it has a neat statistic menu!

The greatest thing about this addon is sites that block you for adblock plus dont detect this one! I turn abp off and get no difference.

A good addon, my only complaint being that there is no way (correct if wrong) to use scam protection without preemptive blocking (i.e. blocking all .tk and .gg domains (as well as some others) and whitelisting known good ones). Also, I have not been able to whitelist some downloads, specifically those of Zeroshell (a Linux-based router distribution) and have to click through a warning each time, although I can verify these downloads are safe.

Good Guard but just doesn't block youtube ads.
