Malwarebytes Browser Guard is a browser extension that provides an additional layer of security for web browsers. It is designed to block malicious websites, fake tech support scams, browser hijackers, and more. The extension is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari browsers. Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks ads, trackers, scams, and malware once installed on your browser. It also removes annoying ads that often point to content of questionable value. The extension can run alongside an existing antivirus app or security suite, providing a second line of defense in combination with the latter software’s own web protection. Some of the features of Malwarebytes Browser Guard include:
- Advertising/tracker protection: Blocks third-party ads and trackers that monitor your online activity.
- Malware blocking: Blocks web pages that contain malware, stops in-browser cryptojackers (unwanted cryptocurrency miners), and gives other malicious content the boot.
- Tech support scam protection: It is the world’s first browser extension that can identify and block new fake tech support scams.
- Faster browsing: Blocks unwanted and unsafe content, giving you a safer and faster browsing experience.
Malwarebytes Browser Guard is not a replacement for real-time anti-malware and antivirus protection provided by other Malwarebytes products, but an additional browser protection.
