From Malwarebytes Press Center - News & Events | Free Malwarebytes Browser Guard Combats Privacy Abuses, Tracking, Clickbait, Unwanted Ads and Tech Support Scammers:

Malwarebytes’ innovative browser extension safeguards consumers from scammers, enabling them to browse the web up to four times faster, without interruption. The free tool blocks tech support scams in addition to annoying and sometimes malicious pop-ups, and prevents browser hijacking and browser lockers, all known scare tactics used to trap consumers into purchasing unnecessary, expensive technical support and exposing them to unwanted content.

I suppose this extension would work on other Chromium based browsers as well?

It is considered a supplement to the premium versions, thus, I would think making it an excellent addition to the free version.

Most certainly if other Chromium based browsers can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
