Functionality

...of the extension

In short...

This extension correlates publicly available data for a given domain and scores the website, so you have fighting chance to spot a scammer or phishing site. 

If one or more of these data points trigger a warning, the extension will mark the banner at the top of the page accordingly, and populate the drop-down with the relevant concerns - possibly denying access to the page.

We score the site (domain) based on these (and more) data points:

  • Encrypted site access (SSL)
  • Available name of the domain owner
  • Available country of origin
  • Available business information
