Website owner validation status and related score from the CCB.

What is Safeonweb Browser Extension?
The 'Safeonweb Browser Extension' is a tool designed to enhance online safety by providing users with a quick visual validation status of a website's owner. The extension uses a color coding system - green, amber, and red - to denote the level of website validation. Green suggests a validated and safe website, amber indicates caution, while red warns against websites that lack fundamental security features or known for malicious activities. Despite the robust system, it does not replace an antivirus or detect existing viruses and doesn't scrutinize the website's content or what's being shared with the website.

Summary
Analyze keywords

For every website you visit, the Safeonweb Browser Extension shows you if the owner has been validated (Green) or not (Amber). Websites without a validated owner (Amber) should be suited for reading only. To share personal and sensitive information you can expect the owner of the web site to be validated (Green). If a hacker puts malicious content on a website with a validated owner, the validation status will change to Amber or Red directly after the first notification. Known malicious or insecure websites are marked as Red.

The Extension allocates a score:

  • Green (OK): the website owner has an Extended Validation Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority or the site owner is registered on atwork.safeonweb.be. Therefore: o It should be OK to continue surfing on this website. o It should be OK to share data on this website.

  • Amber (!): the website owner has an Organisation Validation Certificate, or a Domain Validation Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority, and the website is not registered on atwork.safeonweb.be Therefore: o It should be OK to continue surfing on this website.

Instaleer dit op je browser, beter dan gepakt te worden door het crapuul, en je geld kwijt te zijn.

Het werkt zeer goed! Het is wel handig om deze extensie te pinnen, anders zie je het misschien niet direct. Zeer goed!

Belle initiative pour valider les sites web destinée à tous.
