The Trend Micro Toolbar for Mac is a powerful security extension designed to help you identify risky websites at a glance. It integrates seamlessly with popular search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Baidu, displaying intuitive color-coded safety ratings that help you avoid dangerous links. This toolbar enhances your protection by scanning links on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, as well as web-based email services including Gmail and Yahoo Mail.

Beyond link safety ratings, the toolbar audits privacy settings for your favorite social networks directly within the browser and checks your browser's configuration to ensure minimal data exposure to untrustworthy sites. To access detailed safety information, simply hover over any hyperlink. Note that most features require Trend Micro security software installed on your Mac. With this extension, you can click with confidence and guard yourself against deceptive websites, spyware, and phishing threats while browsing the web.

Basically a good function. I hope they are wirking on the dark mode.

The Chrome extension works well enough checking links from search and it highlights which links are safe. Unfortunately, the highlighting doesn't work well in dark mode as the green highlighting makes the links unreadable.

This is awesome tool as the function, but not good as the looks. The green highlight covers the links, and it makes difficult to read ones during using dark mode. I want to improve it; for example, enable to customize the color etc.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Trend Micro Toolbar for Mac requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
