My website yellowscribe.xyz requires the user to upload a file, and this is getting blocked:

I'm a little surprised to hear that .xyz is a "high risk TLD", but my website is certainly not phishing, please whitelist it.

Particularly annoyingly, there is no indication to the user that Malwarebytes is blocking this upload unless they happen to spot the "1" on the extension icon - because it's a script on the page generating the POST and waiting for the response, it just never gets the response it expects and appears to have hung. It took us a fair while to figure out that Malwarebytes was the reason the site was working fine for most people but completely nonfunctional for others!
