        Only the free malware detection. But they tend to bundle a lot of “clean your registry”, “reclaim unused space”, “pay us to sieve all your private browsing data keep you secure” bloat as well. It shouldn’t be permanently on your system as they can track and funnel data like crazy if you let them.

      They had a database breach afaik. Also a Malwarebytes extension will VERY likely compare every URL i.e. track you unnecessarily. There is UBlock Origin, nothing more needed.

          Ok thanks for the heads up. Seems to be just a service offering proprietary cloud-based password storage.

          I think this is very toxic towards forming habits for People.

          I will do a Step-by-step guide for Android and Linux/Windows, how to sync your passwords between devices using Syncthing and KeepassXC/DX. It is so easy, like 15 steps and you are done, with images and all.

        Sounds possible, but do you have evidence?

          Even if they did that, there are ways to do that without compromising privacy.

          Not yet. Functionality looks unnecessary though, as its simply UBlock origin.

          Will have to do a mtim analysis which I dont really see myself doing
