there needs to be a way to allow some sites that you are blocking one site especially is Temu.com. while some people may have had a problem with the site i have ordered from them many times and never had a problem with them. i would like to be able to mark it as a safe site and not have to deal with it being blocked all the time.

It does pick up some scam sites. I am sure it makes mistakes and alerts some non scam sites. It did make my chrome very slow though. Especially YouTube, it took almost 2 minutes to load a YouTube page, every page. So had to disable it. I almost got scammed though and after installing this extension, I realised I could have saved myself the stress knowing it was a scam website.

MichiganSwitchblades.com is a legitimate business with no problems or complaints on record. It is several months old and doesn't contain any insecure or objectionable material. We are NOT and have NEVER scammed ANYONE! I don't appreciate being categorized as a "scam" by the flimsiest of reasons. Please remove this legitimate site from your list of scammers.
