That's over 600 a day. Is that hi or lo compared to yours?

I don't use Malwarebytes anymore, so I can't give you an apples to apples comparison, but when I go to PCG, my adblock blocks up to 60 ads on a single page, same thing on the sports forum I go to. If this is counting ads the same way Malwarebytes does, then it's hard for me to imagine getting less than 600 in a day. For one thing, I open maybe 100 threads a day on the sports forum for moderation purposes, and so that would be at least 6000 ads blocked a day.

However, it's possible they are counting differently. Maybe Malwarebytes is counting only unique ads.

ublock blocks 40 things on this page, Bitdefender only showing 8
I have no idea how much I block in a month as I don't track it.

I can't run malwarebytes as it wants to do the same job as Bitdefender and they argue. I trust bitdefender more so it stays.

I don't track it

Me neither, MBAM marketing is getting more pushy these days
