Amazing extension. Probably the best phishing protection on the market for free. Blocking sites by category makes your browser even safer. Thank you CheckPoint for such an awesome tool in the open access!

This is one of the worst extension's I had to use in my work computer. Definitely slows down workflow. Should either be improved or deleted all 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.

Harmony Web Protection Advanced MV3 requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
