Extension summary

Prevents phishing attacks by checking URLs for phishing signatures of Unicode and PUNYCode URl manipulation.

Install once, Codify inspects passing URL's for manipulation, locally on your computer, no data sent or stored whatsoeever.

Parses URLs that appear to be correct when read by eye for any common phishing URL manipulation and gives a visible alert if the URl contains one of these patterns.

This extension will stop you getting caught out with dodgy links that appear to be correct but actually are fraudulent.

If you like browsing with ease without the fear of clicking on a fraudulent website with a manipulated URL this application is essential.

Toggle on or off by clicking the icon in the top right.
