Does one exclude the other? If so what one to prefer and for what reason / in what case?
is it equally good at detecting stuff?Emsisoft uses local checking so it's a whole lot faste.
Malwarebytes does provide more "protection features" than Emsisoft and perhaps that contributes towards memory usage. However I didn't see much CPU activity via the browser's Task Manager.Malwarebytes is better when it comes into protection, bit too agressive & has false positives. Open up task manager, take a look on cpu usage....malwarebytes is a cpu hog, but on decent pc you probably dont notice any slow downs anyways
Emsisoft is well balanced, and much lighter
Ho do you check that in Firefox? How do you enable windows plug-in?Malwarebytes does provide more "protection features" than Emsisoft and perhaps that contributes towards memory usage. However I didn't see much CPU activity via the browser's Task Manager.

what do you use instead? no plug-in at all?I don't use any of the 3 extensions because I have no need for them. Less is more. Less is better.
I use the current list of Extensions, as posted here: SECURE [Staff] - Spawn's Config for 2019what do you use instead? no plug-in at all?
I use Kaspersky Internet Security, which monitors the web and the downloads. No need for extra extensions. If I had to choose, it would be either Windows Defender Extension or MalwareBytes.
