WOT: Website Security & Safety Checker

WOT: Website Security & Safety Checker is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your online safety by providing real-time website ratings, anti-phishing alerts, identity theft protection, and more. Just as you take precautions in the physical world, WOT helps you stay protected in the digital realm. With a simple click, you can block malicious sites and browse with confidence.

Key Safety Features

• Website Safety Checker: Before you visit a site, WOT checks its reputation and displays a safety rating. If a site is harmful or suspicious, you'll receive an alert, allowing you to avoid potential threats. This is especially useful when you encounter unfamiliar links in emails, social media, or search results.
• Anti-Phishing: WOT provides instant protection against phishing attacks. If you receive an email containing suspicious or harmful links, you'll get a warning, helping you avoid falling victim to scams that could compromise your personal information.
• Data Breach Monitoring: WOT monitors known data breaches and alerts you if any of your passwords have been leaked. This allows you to update your login credentials promptly before other accounts are affected, keeping your online accounts secure.
• Adult Content Protection: You can block adult content from appearing on your devices, creating a safer browsing environment for yourself or your family. This feature is particularly useful for parents who want to control the content accessible to their children.
• Safe Shopping: When shopping online, WOT instantly alerts you if the website you're on is not secure or not safe. This helps prevent credit card fraud and identity theft when making purchases, giving you peace of mind during online transactions.

With the WOT dashboard, you can enhance your website security by viewing real-time data: see which harmful sites were blocked, know the number of suspicious emails you've received, and instantly know if your personal information was leaked. This transparency empowers you to take control of your online safety.

WOT is backed by a global community of over 2 million users who contribute to website ratings and reviews. You can request a review for any site that lacks a rating, and the community will help assess its safety. The platform uses smart algorithms and human verification to ensure the authenticity of testimonials, making the ratings reliable.

WOT respects your privacy and works hard to preserve it. To enable real-time protection and fully understand website reputations, the extension requires certain permissions, including access to tabs, broad hosts, context menus, web navigation, web request, declarative net request, scripting, alarms, and storage. This data collection is described in the Privacy Policy at https://www.mywot.com/en/privacy/privacy_policy.

Whether you're searching, shopping, or simply surfing the web, WOT helps you feel secure and protected. For comprehensive protection across all your devices, you can also download the WOT mobile apps for Android and iOS. Visit https://www.mywot.com/ for more information.
