Just to add to the comments from Maurice above; the list of shielded applications for the Exploit Protection component in Malwarebytes are focused on the most frequently targeted applications by exploits for attack, especially those that are at the greatest risk due to being web-facing or where they are known to be exploited by Trojanized documents and media files including web browsers, media players, document viewing/editing applications and the like.  The OS shell itself (explorer.exe) and other critical/core OS components are actively shielded and hardened by Exploit Protection (as well as by technologies built into the operating system such as DEP and some hardware features if your CPU supports them) however those shields/protections work differently than the shielding provided through the DLL injection performed on the applications listed in the default list of shielded applications for Exploit Protection.

With that said, if you do use any browsers or other applications that regularly pull web based content (like sidebar/desktop gadgets for example) that aren't listed in the default list of shielded applications, you can add them to the list and use the appropriate profile for them; for example, for a media playback program use the Media Players profile and for a web browser use the Web Browsers profile or Chrome-based Browsers profile depending on whether the browser is based on Chromium, and likewise for a document/office type application use the MS Office or PDF Readers profile as appropriate depending on the type of application/documents etc. used by the application.

I hope this helps a bit to clarify things.
