TrafficLight

Bitdefender TrafficLight adds a strong and non-intrusive layer of security to your browsing experience.

TrafficLight Chrome Extension: Secure Browsing Experience

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.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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.
