[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 725577, member: 51905"] malwarebytes doesn't use hosts file but cloud, of course but they have the same database and they block the same thing. MB extension just blocks a bit more. I think MB extension and MB for windows use the same database on cloud. Same as other extensions like avira, BD, avast and norton,... hphosts is source where we can access malwarebytes's database and implement it to our filters cloud querying is faster and require less resource I tested the comodo extension. It's an absolute garbage. It blocked 0 in my test, absolute 0 your approach of blocking third-party is great I tried it once and it worked perfectly however, I visit a lot of websites and they require too many manual whitelisting unless they would break I gave up. Back to the traditional approach of blacklisting if it works for you, you don't really need a lot filters because blocking third-party is the best filter [/QUOTE]
