User reviews
Pros
- Effective in blocking malicious sites and phishing attempts, providing added protection while browsing.
- Lightweight and does not significantly impact browser speed.
- Regular updates and good support from Bitdefender.
- Trusted brand with good integration alongside Bitdefender antivirus client.
- Simple to use with clear warnings and notifications about unsafe websites.
Cons
- Some users report false positives or overly aggressive blocking, including warnings triggered without clicking links.
- Extension's malware protection may depend heavily on having Bitdefender antivirus client installed; limited standalone effectiveness.
- Issues with occasional bugs, such as unexpected redirection blocking or CSS overriding website fonts.
- Does not block entire malicious domains easily, only individual sites; struggles with newly created malicious domains.
- Concerns over inconsistent and slow detection of some infected sites and files, leading to possible infections despite warnings.

Странное расширение. Недавно заметил, что во время поиска некоторых программ, когда первым результатом оказывается один сайт, браузер сразу пытается открыть этот сайт в новой вкладке. Но TrafficLight блокирует эту попытку и выдаёт соответствующее предупреждение. Думал, вирусы. Тщательно проверил систему - ничего. Отключил TrafficLight и попытки перехода прекратились.

Bazı zararlı siteleri zararsız olarak gösteriyor. Google'ın zaten umurunda değil. Para gelsin de nereden gelirse gelsin.

This is a silly extension. It's a red light, green light kinda thing. It's useless. You don't need it and it does nothing. All you are doing is granting this extension the right to track you. Use UBlock Origin Lite and Privacy Badger together.

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.
TrafficLight requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
TrafficLight has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
