Protege bem, faz bem seu papel. Porém, faz seu navegador travar e ficar lento. Meu processador com 12 núcleos ficou com 90% de CPU do nada, fui ver era essa extensão consumindo CPU de forma absurda.

Utile pour bloquer les pubs intrusives et longues (jusqu'à 2 minutes!) sur YouTube, mais le problème de cette extension que je l'utilise avec Edge est qu'elle est régulièrement corrompue et je dois la recharger. C'est un bug de Malwarebytes, ou alors l'algorithme de YouTube anti-bloqueur-de-pub provoque cette corruption?
