I've reinstalled Malwarebytes Browser Guard and the improvement is undeniable; it works great now.
It would be helpful if Firefox made updates more visible, since it’s not always clear when a new version is available. Still, it’s good to see the extension running smoothly.
Thanks, Malwarebytes! I also hope you release a mobile version someday; that would be fantastic.
Old review:
(I've been using "Malwarebytes Browser Guard" for a couple of months, and I've noticed a few issues.
There's no doubt it does a great job blocking malicious sites, trackers, scams, etc. But it also slows down the browser when I have several tabs open or when loading more than one tab at the same time. After testing, I noticed a pattern (at least in my case): the more images a website has (Google Maps, ArtStation, Pinterest, etc.), the worse the browser's performance gets. So, I went into the extension's settings and disabled its three main features (Ads/Trackers = Off, Malware = Off, Scams = Off) for each of these sites, but to my surprise, it didn't work—the sites were still slow. I assume that Malwarebytes is still scanning all the links on the site, but the fact that this happens even after disabling those features feels like a big flaw. Hopefully, it's just me not knowing how to use the extension properly, but for now, I had to disable it.
At first, I thought the issue was related to my browser's cache or something similar, so I reset the browser, and that fixed it temporarily. However, once I reinstalled my extensions, the issue came back. After testing them one by one, I found out that the problem was caused by "Malwarebytes Browser Guard."
This wouldn't be such a big deal, but I use the aforementioned pages a lot and at least I think that many users also use Google Maps and from my experience, that's where the issue is the worst.)

postuar më 2 muaj më parëHi Jim, thanks for reporting! Just to confirm, are you using the latest 3.0.26 version? We've fixed several things regarding performance in the most recent versions.
If you are on the latest, can you reach out at support.malwarebytes.com so we can help find the source of the issue please? - Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 13475572 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 2 muaj më parëSomething has changed recently that causes Firefox to slow to a crawl when this is enabled. CPU and memory utilization look normal. Even local web pages that normally load in milliseconds now take seconds to load, and often as much as 30 seconds for a normal page load.
This is badly broken! Disabled.Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 2 muaj më parëThat's not good!
Just to confirm you are running the latest 3.0.25 version? If not, please try upgrading.
If so, can you reach out at support.malwarebytes.com please and we can help resolve from there. - Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Yansurnummu, 2 muaj më parë
- Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Katie, 3 muaj më parëI've used this for years but had to uninstall it because I couldn't copy 50% of what I needed. Half the time I tried to copy something I'd get the pop up that was a warning that something had been copied, and when I clicked "disable for this website" it did nothing. No matter what when I pasted the content it would just say "[suspicious content]."

postuar më 2 muaj më parëI'm sorry to hear this feature is not working as expected.
If possible, can you share more details at support.malwarebytes.com please?
Specifically, I'm curious which websites are you seeing this issue?
There are two other bugs we are working on that may help resolve this issue, but it's always helpful to have as many details as possible. - Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Alfonso Alongi, 3 muaj më parëThis was a great extension before the clipboard monitoring feature was introduced. This feature does not work properly and constantly replaces the clipboard content with “[⚠️ Suspicious Content]”.
Please provide the option to disable the feature because the extension has become unusable. I also tried disabling the “Get data from the clipboard” and “Input data to the clipboard” permissions from the Firefox settings, but it doesn't work. This is a serious problem.
I also tried sending an email to support@malwarebytes.com, which is listed in the extension support, but I received an automatic reply saying, “Your email was sent to an unmonitored mailbox account.” and to open a ticket.Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 3 muaj më parëMy apologies—that email is indeed incorrect. We will fix this. The best way to reach us is at support.malwarebytes.com.
I completely understand your concern about the clipboard monitoring feature. We are working on adding the ability to toggle this feature globally.
When you receive the popup warning, you can click "Disable this warning for this site," and you won't see this warning again. Alternatively, you can add the sites you trust to the Scams Allowlist, and you will not encounter this issue. - Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Merriska Carrier, 3 muaj më parëNormally works very well, unfortunately even after the mid July patch it was still making watching Youtube incredibly sluggish and with pop ups so I've had to temporarily disable it.

postuar më 3 muaj më parëI'm sorry to hear that. We will look into this. In the meantime, you are right—you can turn off ad protection for YouTube and still be safe on other sites you visit.
If you can provide more details at support.malwarebytes.com, this would be helpful for debugging. - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 18760669 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 muaj më parë

Can you verify that you are running the latest 3.0.23?
If you are, and are still seeing this issue, can you reach out at support.malwarebytes.com please? - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Robert Deshotels, 3 muaj më parë
- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga SRF, 3 muaj më parëExcellent add-on for safer browsing, without all the annoying bloat that other AV-providers implement in similar products.

- Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 16351663 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 muaj më parëI'm running the latest version of FireFox. This has warned me about entering two or three potentially malicious sites, but I get multiple occurences daily of pages virtually freezing and a warning pop-up that the plugin is slowing FF down. I've therefore disabled it for now. When I next remember, I'll give it another try to see if the issue (if there is one) has been addressed.
Edit: VERY impressed by the speed of Malwarebytes' response! Have added a diary reminder to turn it back on in a week's time to see if the fix has been implemented. In the meantime, I'll try very hard not to visit sites I shouldn't. :-)Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 3 muaj më parëThank you for reporting, we have a fix for this pending for review by the Firefox team.
This should resolve the issue. - Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 18201410 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 muaj më parëThis extensions been good for quite some time now, but recently, due to the bug that's been slowing down my browser, it's starting to get unbearable, I upload content on YouTube and browse the internet, and constantly getting a popup from my browser that its being slown down for long periods of time every 5 - 10 minutes is pretty annoying.
Until this bug's fixed, I do not recommend this extension to anyone, despite how good its features are.Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 3 muaj më parëThank you for your review! We’re aware of this issue and have already released a hotfix, which is currently under review by the Mozilla store. The update will be automatically rolled out to our users very soon. - Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Steve M, 3 muaj më parëI used to enjoy this Add-on until recently. I am using Firefox, and lately I have been getting the error message that Malwarebytes Browser Guard is slowing down my browser and that I should consider removing it. Not good.
