New Browser Guard features add protection before and after you click
Malwarebytes Browser Guard adds Search Reputation ratings and on-device LLM-powered Scam Guard Lite to block scams before and after clicking.
Malwarebytes announced two new features for its Browser Guard extension: Search Reputation, which labels Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, and Bing search results as Good or Malicious, and Scam Guard Lite for Chrome. Scam Guard Lite downloads Google's Gemini model to the device and analyzes webpage content locally with an LLM, without sending browsing history to the cloud. The features extend existing protections against scams, malware, ads, and trackers; the full Scam Guard remains part of Malwarebytes Premium Security.
