False Positive

When I enter the picrew.me, the website keeps asking to allow `html-load.com`. It seems the page is trying to load from this domain, but Malwarebytes is blocking it.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I understand how frustrating it can be when a site you frequently use is not functioning properly due to our browser blocker extension.

The reason you're experiencing this problem is that our extension is currently blocking certain domains, specifically

html-load.com

and

css-load.com

These domains have been identified as sources that may display or sideload ads without the user's knowledge. To maintain a secure and seamless browsing experience for all users, we have chosen to block these domains by default.

While it's possible for you to whitelist these domains locally in your settings, we generally do not recommend doing so. Allowing these domains may expose you to unwanted advertisements or other potentially intrusive content.

We appreciate your understanding and are here to help if you have any other questions or need further assistance.

Even though I've allowed `html-load.com`, it is still being blocked.

I would also suggest adding https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

It will probably solve the issue for you.

If that's the case, isn't there no point in using Browser Guard?

Just fix the allowlist so that it doesn't malfunction.

Browser Guard is way more than blocking AD's.

I want to allow html-load.com to access that site. But browser guard's allow list doesn't work properly. without uBO installation.

There are some fixes for the Firebox version coming. No ETA yet.

We have been recommending both here for a long time. They complement each other well.

I think it's too heavy. I don't want to use more than one extensions.

Then turn off the following.

You mentioned that domains are blocked to provide a safe and seamless browsing experience for all users, but it doesn't seem that way at all. Preventing access to websites entirely in the name of safe and smooth browsing negatively impacts UX and is very inconvenient for users like me.

[Porthos]

These sites use anti-adblocking tech on these sites. This is the result.
