False Positive: polyfill.io

[infonutt]

I use https://www.hoopladigital.com.

On Firefox, when I log in, MB (Malwarebytes) says

This makes Hoopla not work as a visual - everything is white and I can't see anything but shadows (I assume the "fill" of that is color).

When I use the app Everything to search all files, the only polyfill.io I find is: polyfill.io.js

in this folder

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\oldceeleldhonbafppcapldpdifcinji\4.4.8_0\polyfills

My understanding is that js stands for jason, which is a FF (Firefox) line of code - even though it is in a google chrome folder.

I added the file to MB exceptions by both copying the address from my file explorer and also by following the path thru the MB app itself to the file.

The behavior persists and MB will not obey/allow the exemption. Hoopla still does not work.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

Not a technical issue, so did not do above.

FYI - I added the file to MB exceptions by both copying the address from my file explorer and also by following the path thru the MB app itself to the file.

I also did the same for the whole folder with the same result that it is still blocked by MB.

It is blocked by Browser Guard, not the main program.

Until staff takes a look and makes a decision in the block, you will have to add both to the Browser Guard allow list.

polyfill.io

Click on the extension icon 

If you can not see the Browser Guard icon in the browser toolbar, click the puzzle icon and unhide or pin the icon.

That worked. Thank you so very much Porthos!!!

polyfill.io is legitimately blocked.

Thanks!

@JPopovic What is polyfill.io doing that makes it a legitimate block?  I am curious because I am hitting it on a few credible websites.
