I have been using Malwarebytes Browser Guard for over a year and viewed its detections from the last 30 days on my laptop:
Ads/Trackers: 88,689
Malware: 40
Scams: 0

This extension is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. I recommend it without hesitation.

Interesting. Do you use it with any other browser extensions?

I use Firefox 99% of the time because it's safer than Chrome, Edge and most others. Unfortunately, lately Firefox has been frequently crashing and sometimes I have to try later for a new search. I think they seem to have a hard time with bots and other scams.

With Malwarebytes Browser Guard, I also use Don't track me Google and UBlock Origin. Occasionally, both MBG and UBlock block the scam or add, and Malwarebytes will suggest that I go back rather than going forward.

As soon as Google killed the functionality for uBlock Origin to work, I switched to Firefox and very rarely need Chrome. One example is my Frigate NVR (video security), which, for some reason, works really badly in Firefox. I didn't spend too much time troubleshooting it, though. Something with the live video streaming Frigate uses.

I handle this at the firewall when folks are on the home network. It logs millions of blocks mostly around ads and trackers.

I get realtime info on blockages from using duckduckgo. Not sure how meaningful it is.
