What is TrafficLight?
TrafficLight is a Chrome extension that provides a robust layer of security for your browsing experience. Operating in the cloud, it assesses each webpage you visit, checking for malware and phishing attempts in real time. However, TrafficLight does so unobtrusively, without adding unnecessary toolbars or slowing your system. It precisely blocks harmful elements, allowing you to safely view the rest of the website. Additionally, TrafficLight provides security markers in search results, flagging potential fraudulent or malicious websites.

Summary

TrafficLight is taking the security-while-browsing concept where it belongs: in the browser. This extension will add a strong layer of security over your browsing experience without inducing speed penalties or system resource consumption. Part of the processing is done in the cloud with some intelligent small engines that make various checks on pages you're visiting enabling you to have top notch antiphishing and antimalware protection.

Features:

Real Time: TrafficLight scans the pages you visit for malware and phishing attempts each and every time you access them to avoid the threat of legitimate but recently compromised websites.

Precise: TrafficLight won't block an entire website if just some pages within are malicious. Only the potentially harmful elements are blocked, leaving you free to view the rest of the site if you so choose.

Unintrusive: TrafficLight does not add a toolbar to your already-cluttered browser interface. Its interface remains invisible until your input is needed or it's called up with a simple mouse gesture.

Search Results: TrafficLight flags malware and fraudulent websites in search results.

Fast support, but terrible extension! It doesn't work to prevent malware from malicious sites and is very slow. The extension should be updated weekly, if not monthly. It works alongside Bitdefender. If you don't have Bitdefender, you'll experience the following issues: I tested this extension with the EICAR malware test site. The extension showed that the site was malicious a few seconds later. However, you need to have the Bitdefender antivirus client installed on your PC. Without the client, the extension doesn't prevent infection. In other words, I had already been "infected" even though TrafficLight said it was blocked. This was tested on several Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems, running on virtual machines and actual consumer desktops (not Enterprise). Bitdefender TrafficLight's extension description fails to mention that you need to have the Bitdefender client installed. Only after contacting support do they inform you that this works alongside the Bitdefender client; hence, no protection without the client. The extension has a list of sites (largely based on Google's list) and flags or blocks them. You can't block domains, only individual websites. For instance, the domain *.xyz is a malicious domain, but TrafficLight does not give the user the option to block it. If it's a fairly new domain, and Bitdefender TrafficLight fails to detect and block it. In summary, beware of sophists' reviews, especially those written like ads. This extension is like a vehicle's laser radar detector: only after you are hit is there a reaction, sometimes not at all. Not recommended. Yet, foolish and gullible people think it works on its own. Uninstalled.
