Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 18892832, rok temuWorks well for blocking spam and I've gotten a few warnings about certain sites. Some first time going and some I know to be legitimate, but that's how security goes. Still lets me go if I acknowledge the warning of course. The main issue is that some, though few, websites have loading issues. Mine specifically is my microsoft email through outlook/live.com When I go there I can't interact with much for a good 20 to 30 seconds. I've tried disabling the ad, spam and malware protections specifically for outlook/live.com email website and also disabling global protection of those features, but it still does the same. I specifically have to disable the "All protections" setting. So it seems like its still actively doing something even when i globally disable the 3 protections for all sites and only stops if I tick the option to disable all protections. I don't really care about that specifically, but just noting that seems to be why outlook/live email performance in the browser goes back to normally after disabling it. While I like the ad block feature enormously since it actually works, I don't want to disable the whole thing everytime i need to check my email so I'll just leave it off for now and circle back to it in a month or so to see if this issue is resolved with some kind of update. Been putting up with it for well over a year so its not a new thing. I just didn't think to leave a review about it until now. I would submit a report/ticket to malwares help center directly but it requires making an account and I just don't want yet another account. Hopefully they see this when checking reviews.
Edit: Actually it effects my google emails as well, just less so since the delay is one or two seconds I didn't notice as much though now that its instant its very noticable. The outlook one is basically instant when its disabled too just not as fast as google's email, but compared to the almost 30 second load time prior the difference is wild.
Edit2: March 30, 2025
I've updated to the 3.0.14 version and the huge delay in outlook email is gone! Bumping review to 5 stars since this removes the main issue I had with it.
Edit3: April 10, 2025
Updated to version 3.0.17 and a several seconds delay is happening now. Its a little better when I tell it to disable all protections for everything, but if I turn it off for only outlook then there is no difference so its still doing something again. If I disable the extention altogether then its based to instant speeds. Not sure what happened between the updates but its unfortunate. I'll try to install the 3.0.14 version and try to keep it from auto updating. Its also possible this is a firefox thing since it updates as well. So I'm not gonna just blame malwarebytes outright on this one.

Data: 8 dni temuHello, that is indeed alarming.
Can you share more how you encountered this bug at our help website, please? help.malwarebytes.com - Ocena: 5/5Autor: casswizard, miesiąc temuI really like malwarebytes I've been using it for years!
One quick question, I'm working on a project that requires geojson data and was hoping to download the files from this repository which I believe to be an official repository from Natural Earth Data which hosts a range of datasets relating to geography and maps.
Why is this repository or user flagged? (I can't post URL's so will post the user and project name from Github)
Site: github
User: nvkelso
Repo: natural-earth-vector
File: Any geojson file
Is there anywhere we can report potential false positives?Odpowiedź autora
Data: 25 dni temuHi casswizard,
Happy to hear you've been using us for years ❤️
I checked the repro in question and wasn't able to reproduce the issue on the latest database, so it appears the block was removed.
If you are still experiencing the block, check for any database updates by doing the following:
- Click the Malwarebytes icon in your toolbar
- Click "Dashboard"
- Click "Support & diagnostics"
- Click "Check for Database updates"
To report a false positive in the future you can join us on the forums https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/123-website-blocking/ .

- Ocena: 3/5Autor: Ruz, 2 miesiące temuThis is a pretty good extension. However, I have had issues where firefox loses all network connection if loading pages with a lot of media, or scrubbing youtube videos fast. I now, after at least a year tried disabling the malwarebytes extension and that fixed the issue i was having.
Hopefully this is something you can solve in future updates.Odpowiedź autora

We would like to investigate this issue deeper.
Any chance you could open a support ticket to share more details please?

- Ocena: 1/5Autor: Gianfranco, 3 miesiące temuBroken cookie banners on multiple sites.
I wanted to report that this extension causes cookie banners to malfunction on various websites. The banners disappear after just a few seconds, without giving users enough time to manage their consent. I am experiencing this major issue also on my own WordPress site, which uses the Cookie Complianz plugin.
Since these banners are configured to automatically reject cookies when closed (keeping them disabled until explicit user consent), certain website functionalities break entirely. The only workaround is to disable the extension's ad/tracker protection, which the vast majority of users obviously won't do.
UPDATE - Reply to your answer:
Thanks for the reply, but there is a misunderstanding here.
I am using Complianz, not CookieYes (the link provided in your response belongs to a different plugin).
Complianz is strictly configured for prior consent (opt-in). This means that if Malwarebytes blocks cookieblocker.min.css, it doesn't cause trackers to load; instead, it completely breaks the banner layout.
The real issue is that the user is physically prevented from interacting with the banner because it vanishes immediately. If a user actually wants to consent to load a YouTube video, a Google Map, or a social widget, they simply cannot do it because the interface is broken by the extension.
This is a False Positive purely based on the filename string. Please consider forwarding this to the development team so they can whitelist or fix this specific filter. Thank you.Odpowiedź autora

If users want, they can turn this setting off anytime for a specific page from Browser Guard's dashboard.
A quick heads-up: When someone uses Malwarebytes or another ad blocker, their consent is automatically denied. In those cases, your site should only use the essential cookies needed to keep things running smoothly.
Avoid blocking features for users with ad blockers — that could cause GDPR issues.
If you want to learn more, check out the Cookieyes knowledge base (https://www.cookieyes.com/knowledge-base/cookie-consent/what-is-cookie-auto-blocking/) or have a quick chat with your legal team. - Ocena: 1/5Autor: Drafer, 3 miesiące temu

- Ocena: 1/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 15275833, 4 miesiące temuWhat an utter shambles Malwarebytes are with their 3.1.5 version. It broke the functionality of Firefox Browser's right click, "Save Image as", feature. Malwarebytes pushed version 3.1.5 on me on the 9th April 2026, around two weeks after version 3.1.5 was released.
The absolute same day they had to bring out version 3.1.6 to fix the disaster of version 3.1.5. And what version 3.1.6 is according to Firefox is an, "Automatic rollback based on version [3.1.3]."
Sort yourself out Malwarebytes team, clearly better tech staff and Senior management are needed. - Ocena: 5/5Autor: Jacob, 4 miesiące temuI love this app but just recently it wont let me save files using the "Save as" feature in the context menu or to copy files. In the downloads bar it lists the file as being cancelled. It will download the file if I select the "retry" in the downloads bar but thats an extra step.
Im running Windows 10 on a Surface pro 7, and there were no issues the day previous. I confirmed the App was the problem by turning it off. The only other app i have running is Ublock.
Again, love the program and the App!
EDIT: The update worked and fixed my issue! Thank you very much for the quick response. 5 stars!Odpowiedź autora

- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 19829301, 4 miesiące temuHello dear developers of Malwarebytes Guard,
I installed your Malwarebytes Guard extension on Android, but I can’t configure it. I want website tracking to be blocked, but not ads. I opened the extension settings, went to “All Protection Settings,” and tried to uncheck the ads option, but the checkbox won’t turn off. Please fix this issue.Odpowiedź autora
Data: 4 miesiące temuHello, unfortunately our extension is not supported on Android. Some browsers on Android can install the desktop extension, but unfortunately it doesn't work in practice.
For Android related protection we recommend installing the dedicated mobile app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.malwarebytes.antimalware - Ocena: 2/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 19825817, 4 miesiące temu

- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Boris, 5 miesięcy temuPlutôt efficace, ne demande pas forcement d'avoir un antivirus de la même société pour fonctionné.
Bloquera pas mal de petite chose notamment les pubs et se montre flexible et facile a prendre en mains.
Une extension a utilisé systématiquement. - Ocena: 3/5Autor: Dennis Reynolds, 5 miesięcy temuIt does its job well, but you seriously need to cool it with the popups/notifications!! I have them all turned off in settings, but I'm still getting several popups per session, I've just gone and disabled the whole addon now. It's doing my head in.

Data: 5 miesięcy temuThanks for letting us know. Anyway you can open a ticket, please? We shouldn't be notifying that much, and we'd like more details to figure out what is going on.
https://help.malwarebytes.com/ - Ocena: 1/5Autor: vhm, 5 miesięcy temuEvery time you open a Google page (which is unfortunately needed for my work) with this extension, things pop up on screen trying to verify my Google account. It won't even let me log on websites with my google account anymore. Malwarebytes is a good malware protection with good plans for everyone, but this extension is simply a bad tradeoff between protection and basic daily usability. Until it updates to give user more settings and control over the extension I can't recommend it to anyone.

Data: 5 miesięcy temuThanks for reporting, we have an opt out for this in our next upcoming release.
Unfortunately, in the mean time, you will only see this notification go away if you interact with the feature. - Ocena: 5/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 15153648, 5 miesięcy temu
- Ocena: 3/5Autor: KT, 5 miesięcy temuIt is good but really REALLY slows down certain pages with no option to temporarily pause it when interfering in some pages such as those dealing with AI prompts and image creations. If it was not for that I would rate it higher. The lag it is causing me currently is so bad that it is conflicting with Grammarly which I need since I am dyslexic with numb fingers from Chemo. I don't need the conflict and I am very knowledgeable on how to keep myself safe online and my browser as clean as possible. So in my case I have uninstalled it for now until there are improvements when it comes to browsers that also have other addons installed and how they play together.

Data: 5 miesięcy temuThank you for reporting. I have opened a ticket to investigate any conflict with Grammarly.
We have more performance improvements coming (in fact in the past few months we have improved performance by 10x across various metrics).
I totally understand the priority though. - Ocena: 5/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 16698359, 5 miesięcy temu
