- Rated 3 out of 5by Nordic, 5 years agoAdd me to the list of those having downloads instantly cancelled. Just started recently. No problems before. Just image files at first and today started blocking .mp4 files. Help!!
Update - just added Malwarebytes Browser Guard to Chrome and the downloads work fine.Developer response
posted 5 years agoHey Nordic, I'm sorry you had this experience! We've identified the source of this bug and we will get it fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks for helping verify that Chrome is working.
While we get this fixed, temporarily disable "Scams Protection" on the page you want to download from. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13443465, 5 years agoFor some reason, this addon started to instantly cancel any image downloads. I could work around this but it was easier just to disable the add on.

There was no way to fix this, so I had to uninstall this altogether. If there was an option to turn that off, then I'd give this 5 stars.
Other than that, this extension served it's purpose of blocking access to shady websites which I really appreciated, but that download cancellation thing became too annoying to deal with.Developer response
posted 5 years agoHey Ty, you're right, that is annoying and I'm sorry you had this experience! We've identified the source of this bug and we will get it fixed as soon as possible.
If you decide to reinstall the extension, you can workaround this bug till the fix is live. Click on the extension icon and temporarily disable "Scams Protection" on the page you want to download from. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kimiluch, 5 years agoI am really satisfied with this extension on FF 64bits but, surprisingly, the latest update brought a weird bug with image file types only: Malwarebytes browser guard won’t let me save them (using right click on an image then “Save image as”) unless I disable it. In the download pane, it reads “Canceled” under the image filename. And I only mean the action “Save image as” coz when I use right click then “Save link as” when an image file has a download link then it is saved. I checked the extension on chrome (32 and 64bits) and it works OK with “Save image as”. Edit: Bug corrected. 5 stars back!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Al, 5 years agoAwesome addition to your anti-malware arsenal. I thought this type of add-in had been missing from MBytes products. Hope they are going to support it for many years to come like their main product as browsers becoming more of a necessity today. Generally, I'm very glad to use this add-in, and think it's a good start in the right direction. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bobject, 5 years agoThis Firefox extension has a beautiful UI and works as advertised. I've discovered no issues.
It's worth a few clicks to add this to your 2020 browser experience.
edit: and it has a neat statistic menu! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13387496, 5 years agoThe greatest thing about this addon is sites that block you for adblock plus dont detect this one! I turn abp off and get no difference.

- Rated 4 out of 5by CauseOfBSOD, 5 years agoA good addon, my only complaint being that there is no way (correct if wrong) to use scam protection without preemptive blocking (i.e. blocking all .tk and .gg domains (as well as some others) and whitelisting known good ones). Also, I have not been able to whitelist some downloads, specifically those of Zeroshell (a Linux-based router distribution) and have to click through a warning each time, although I can verify these downloads are safe.
