Transfer Browser Guard settings to other browsers

Transfer your Browser Guard settings to another browser by using the export and import settings features. These features are available in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browsers, on Windows devices that have the Malwarebytes app installed with an active trial or subscription.

Export your Browser Guard settings

The Export settings feature creates a file you can use to copy settings from your current browser. Use the export file to apply the settings to other browsers on the same device, or on different devices. Transfer the export file to another device using a USB drive or a cloud storage solution, like Google Drive or Box.
