by cadkitten, 8 months agoThis extension does not work with tumblr at all. At first it just denied me the ability to see the post screen when I went to make a post. Then it began to do the same thing to reblogs. At this point, it actively goes to a black screen after approximately 1-2 seconds of seeing any page. I turn this single extension off, presto, everything works again. Turn it back on, boom, all black screens again. Since I use tumblr all the time, this means I cannot use this extension (that I dearly want to use!). Please please fix it so I can use tumblr again. Thanks!

This is due to a conflict with our Easylist protection, we will fix it on our side.
In the meantime, you can toggle Easylist on/off on Tumblr, by:
1. Navigating to Tumblr
2. Click on the Browser Guard icon in your browser's toolbar.
3. In the list of trackers blocked, you will see "Easylist".
4. Click on the "..." next to it.
5. Click "Allow on this website"

- Rated 3 out of 5by Greenstack, a month agoI love the privacy and security options it gives, but any site that uses ReCaptcha fails to let me log in because the plugin disables and blocks it, so I need to disable the ads/trackers setting for those sites.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18925976, 2 months agoOverall, it’s good, but I’d like to see more details in the statistics—specifically, the types of malware that have been blocked, not just the numbers.
Also, the 'Access your data for all websites' option is listed as optional, but it’s necessary for the program to work. I know you’ve been pretty transparent about how the data is used, but this does raise some concerns about data security as the company isn’t open-source.Developer response
posted 2 days agoThank you for the feedback, we'll take it into consideration.
With a premium subscription on Windows, you do get access to your detection history; not exactly what you asked for, but maybe you'll find it useful.
"Access your data for all websites" is indeed a required permission, and I do understand your concern. On Firefox, we don't collect any data. Full privacy policy is here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/privacy/policy-for-browser-guard.
If you are technically inclined, you can see all the requests Browser Guard makes by doing the following:
1. Navigate to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
2. Next to Malwarebytes Browser Guard, click "Inspect"
3. Click "Network" in the new console that opens, from there you can see all network traffic Browser Guard is making. - Rated 1 out of 5by GlennS, 2 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Disaster Area, 2 months agoThis add-on is pretty good and helps prevent malware from being downloaded, as well as helps to avoid unsafe websites. However, today it started causing a massive memory leak whenever I opened my browser. My memory utilisation goes from about 40% with the add-on off to staying at 100% with the add-on active and websites will barely load. Hopefully this is fixed soon and I can re-enable the add-on.
