Hello 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.

I'm more or less satisfied, except that sometimes it doesn't detect that I have a premium plan and the ad blocking also sometimes doesn't work.

Plutôt 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.

It 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.

Every 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.

It 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.

só posso dizer que é excelente

Pop-Ups from a pop-up blocker... every few minutes!!! And you can't close them!!!!!!!!!!!!
No No No

aggravating doesn't come close to what I feel...

I even tried their
"help.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/31589256837403-Customize-Browser-Guard-from-the-Settings-screen"
workaround, I don't even have that options at all! None of them!

I close more pop-ups with this extension than without it!

Absolutely invaluable extension. I use Malwarebytes Pro on my desktop and this extension on all my browsers. It does flag some places that are ad based, and it's easy to back out of those, or if you know the site is safe, proceed. Just a great tool.

I would prefer to give this 0 stars, but I guess it does deserve ONE because it has detected and stopped a few redirects that were legitimately pages I would not want to go to, and caught some fake sites that were sponsored pages in Google search.

That said, it uses way too much memory for this kind of browser extension, which I could forgive considering that I have plenty of RAM, but where I draw the line is the absolutely irritating pop-ups FROM the extension itself!

If I'm using an add-on that is supposed to do things like block ads, why on earth am I constantly getting them from the add-on I'm using to block them?

Why is it EVERY day, when I go to use Firefox, I have to see some annoying ad telling me how many things the Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked? Like you need to sell me the extension I already have installed on my computer!

And worse, there's NO WAY to turn them off! Go through the settings and there's no setting to control the extension notifications, so I have no choice but to see them, which while that's bad enough, even worse is they never want to close! Sometimes clicking on the X won't even close it, so I end up either refreshing the page or having to duplicate the tab and close the one I'm on because a ridiculous pop-up from my pop-up blocker won't go away!

Now, sometimes I'm getting multiple of them! Like I finally get it to close and there's another one, I just got two pop-ups from Malwarebytes Browser Guard in a ROW!

I've finally had it, I'm uninstalling this thing because I'm sick of it. I didn't install a pop-up blocker so that I could have to constantly have unclosable pop-ups from the blocker, that is absolutely absurd and crosses a line for me.

A good browser guard would just have the icon for it maybe have a number over it or a quiet tick when it blocks something, and that's it. Whoever decided there should be pop-ups for the browser guard I already have installed should not have that job. Show me discretely that you block stuff, I don't actually care how much stuff you've blocked for everyone in the world every day, like not even a little bit, as in there is no reasonable way I could possibly care less, so I don't want this information, and should not be forced to see it constantly.

I would never recommend this to anyone as it is unreasonable that the extension itself spams the exact thing I got the extension to stop.

Note: After posting this review and uninstalling the plugin, the exact page I was on and had just closed all the pop-ups, had another Malwarebytes Guard Popup telling me how many things Malwarebytes Guard removed in the past 30 days (in general for everyone, nothing to do with me). It actually happens all the time when I move between tabs, often forcing me to try and close the thing dozens and dozens of times every day. I'm so glad I uninstalled this thing, I despise it, and I will never install it again. At this point I don't even care if there is some way to disable this somewhere (not that I could find one), I'm beyond irritated that this is actually the default behavior. Malwarebytes (even the AV) used to be such a lean and non-intrusive application. Now, it's basically junkware, like the garbage bloatware I used to charge people to remove from their new computers. I've seriously gone from being a loyal Malwarebytes fan that has recommended and installed this software for thousands of customers, to someone who really can't stand it. I don't know why they have ruined what used to be hands down the best anti-malware software in the world, but it is an unfortunate loss.

If you need a extension to stop pop-up ads, scams, etc., I would suggest looking elsewhere, this thing is exactly what you're probably trying to stop when you install it.

WAYYYYYYYYY too much ram usage get on work and notify me on email if you have fixed it

It's an essential extension for me. I would not surf the Internet without it anymore. It keeps me safe from all kinds of threats on the Net and even gets rid of most of the annoying ads you come across. Highly recommended!
