Works great! Noticed very few issues and blocked a lot of the tracking that most websites do. Unfortunately Google recently changed the way they run ads and their websites which probably conflicts with Malwarebytes now. Just had Youtube running in a loop of crashing and reloading for about 2 minutes before it actually started the video. It's a pity Google is so strict and force ads that track you.

Funciona bem para lidar com anúncios do YouTube. Eu queria utilizá-lo, mas tive que desinstalá-lo, porque ele estava causando congelamentos no meu Chrome.

Celso Vieira, 2024-06-08

Certain websites will freeze and become unstable leaving me to force Chrome to end via task manager. This happens especially on YouTube (channel page or history) with high CPU usage. (Chrome: Version 125.0.6422.142 (Official Build) (64-bit)) (2024.06.07) [As for reveiws such Azir's, RAM actually has nothing to do with "malwerebyte uses alot of RAM" since very little RAM is actually used, there appears to be something else that is causing conflicts with certain websites likely with scripts that are not compatible with each other and erroring but without any fallback (infinite loop)]
