- Rated 4 out of 5by dp123, 4 years agoThis extension is not bad, it has protected me from many trackers and viruses, but I would like to know why, when I arrive on a page or a website, the square at the top of the extension icon is red for a second or less, and then turns grey again sometimes? Does this mean that there is a virus on the page? Because when I click on the extension, no virus seems to be detected. Is this a bug? A false positive? Or is there really a virus? I'm quite confused by this detail, that's what pushed me to write this review and my my four-star rating.
Edit: 2/04 Thank you for your answer! I went to the website in question.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Wrongmanmango, 4 years agoAmazing extension that saved me a lot of troubles. Adblocking is not that good, but overall the phishing and malware protection works amazingly good

- Rated 5 out of 5by ravendave, 4 years agoJust excellent...You have to learn to whitelist some sites (as with ANY good "blocker") but another great free tool from the company that has made the best free software for many years

- Rated 1 out of 5by Eric Renfro, 4 years agoThis extension is known to abusively block hundreds of gTLDs from it's creation.

Google "Malwarebytes blocked TLD" and you'll see numerous reports of this and requests to get whitelisted specifically. - Rated 5 out of 5by Sardoriks, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dan Werlinger, 4 years agoPretty impressive extension overall. It is the only security extension that I have found so far that protects against trackers/ads, PUP's, malware, and scams. On one website alone it blocked 478 Ads/trackers, no joke. The reason for only giving 4 stars is that I wished it communicated with my Malwarebytes desktop application as well. As far as I can tell it does not. When the browser extension says it blocked malware I wished it showed up in my desktop applications protection results as well to show an overall security posture result that Malwarebytes is providing me. Overall very impressive I recommend.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13163623, 4 years agoA great browser addon to protect user, but after 6 months of use I have decided to remove it, so many false positives when I am looking at websites or downloading content (Legitimate applications embraced in the opensource community and alike)
just too many nuisances keeping it. a great app none the less.Developer response
