I would just disable Malwarebytes Browser Guard. I have absolutely no idea why your icon is black and white.
yes thanks! I had disabled MbamBG before I saw your post, and Osprey blocked a bad URL :D (w/trafficlight) & I took out my magnifying glass and icon still looks black & white to me, but no bigee. Nice app!

so far I left the protection ON its 8 default settings. MbamBG was already running so that adds to the "load" but the slowdown (if any?) I thought I saw was just a fraction and certainly not an annoyance.
What slows down browsing is Bitdefender's TrafficLight extension and when I used BD it was the same. Malwarebytes Browser Guard also slows down browsing and the Osprey Browser Protection extension has no impact on browsing. Although Malwarebytes Browser Guard is a good extension I think that now with Osprey Browser Protection with 14 engine I think there is no need to use MBG (Malwarebytes Browser Guard), if you don't want to delete the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension then disable it in your browser extensions and leave only Osprey, I can't say much because I was like you, I'll be honest I was using MBG, Emsisoft Browser Security, TrafficLight and Netcraft did you see what an exaggeration on my part? Now with the arrival of Osprey Browser Protection I don't need them anymore. But I think I know what you're worried about. Just to refresh your memory, take a look at the test screenshots on the eicar website. Osprey Browser Protection also blocks urls with executables, how cool is that? You can test it yourself and draw your own conclusions. ;)
