![]() ![]() Here’s what I see when I open Firefox v114.0.1 (with the blue icon for Malwarbytes Browser Guard v2.3.6 and red icon for uBlock Origin v1.49.2 extensions highlighted): As far as I can tell from your image the icon for your uBlock Origin extension is missing as well. It’s hard to tell what you’re seeing because it looks like you’ve cropped out the location in your image where your browser extension icons should appear on your toolbar (i.e., to the far right of the address bar). This topic was modified 2 months ago by WCHS. However, Tools>Add-on and Themes>Manage Your Extensions says it’s Enabled.ĭoes one have to have Malwarebytes installed also for the Malwarebytes symbol to appear in the URL field for the Malwarebytes Browser Guard? Or does the Firefox Multi-Account Containers symbols take precedence and leave no room for the Malwarebytes symbol, too?īTW, I also have uBlock Origins Enabled, too. Even if I disable the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension, those two symbols are still there. ![]() Instead, I see a fingerprint symbol for the Firefox Multi-Account ‘Tech’ container that I have set for the AskWoody site (in the red square) and a grid symbol for the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension itself (in the blue square). I added it in Firefox, and in the process it said that the Malwarebytes logo would appear at the right end of the URL field.īut, I am not seeing it. I thought I would try Malwarebytes Browser Guard as a Firefox extension after I read your post. ![]() This is why we continue to hear about hacks and data breaches all the time, yet very rarely observe anything super nasty like backdoors and the like these days on most consumer devices (usually the worst thing I see is ransomware, which typically gets in through an exploit, typically from a malicious ad ironically enough (and the ad is likely to be blocked by one or more of the aforementioned extensions of course, rendering the exploit harmless to those who use such blocking tools) or malicious email attachment).I’ve also added two reputable content blockers – uBlock Origin and Malwarebytes Browser Guard (which offers the same Web Protection feature as Malwarebytes Premium) – that work well together … On the other hand, targeted attackers going after high value targets (such as businesses, websites/servers, government and infrastructural targets etc.) would not target such a plugin/extension because such extensions are not often used in such environments and there are much easier ways into a system (remember, those extensions are sandboxed and the browser runs in a limited user mode with no admin privileges by default) to achieve full access/control over it. ransomware, tech support scams etc.) or scamming money (phishing scams, bogus products etc.) in order to gain the most profits. The bad guys typically target the largest groups/most commonly used applications so that they can infect as many as possible when the objective is extortion (i.e. Is it possible? Certainly, but not very likely. That would be like the bad guys trying to use your AV to infect you. I do not see any issues or performance impact using these together, all fully enabled.Īs for attack surface, I'm not too worried about a blocking browser extension being leveraged in an attack, both because extensions are sandboxed within the browser (a security measure implemented in modern browsers), and because it wouldn't make much sense for attackers to target the kinds of extensions used by those who actually know the risks of online threats and ads and use such tools to enhance their safety/browsing. I'm currently using Malwarebytes Browser Guard, uBlock Origin, Ghostery, Disconnect, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, HTTPS Everywhere, Nano Defender and uBlock Origin Extra in addition to Web Protection in Malwarebytes Premium and a massive HOSTS file currently containing almost 1 million entries and counting.
