Luke (ID: 000000dec90077c9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/04/2023 Before this extension worked very well, it let me know what websites were safe and were not, it would block downloads that seemed to be viruses, it wasnt until recently (after april 2023) that the extension started to slow down my browser, keep in mind that I have a very good gaming pc and I had plenty of ram storage free (I have 16gb ram and was running other minor applications such as spotify, steam, ext). I know my pc is not the issue with this and it is this extension because I turned it off and my browser is perfectly fine now, but I wish mcafee could sort this issue out as this extension is very good when it doesn't slow down my browser.
