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.

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.

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.

Except this, it doesn't recognize my premium subscription (device security is installed but it says upgrade to premium)

posta 3 dagar sidanWe are back to regular updates, thanks for holding on with us.- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Firefox user 18925976, 2 månader sidanOverall, 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.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 3 dagar sidanThank 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. - Vurdering: 1 av 5av GlennS, 2 månader sidan
