Joe Baker (ID: 00000012877e5e01) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/13/2023 I've been using MB for over a decade. I'm thrilled to finally them release a security tool for browsers. This release is still fairly new, however given the background of Malwarebytes and the overwhelming success behind everything they've ever released, I'm certain that this extension will soon be #1 in browser security. I have used this extension across multiple browser platforms for about a week now I must say, i'm impressed. 10/10 would recommend!
