Donkey Defender Firefox

Donkey Defender

A cross-browser extension designed to resist phishing attacks by checking for suspicious and deceptive URLs each time you navigate.

Features & Capabilities

How to use:

  • Install the Donkey Defender browser extension.
  • Configure your protected domains list and security level.
  • Browse normally, fine-tuning your preferences over time if needed.
Tips:
  • We recommend protecting the domains that really need to be protected: personal and business websites, mail services, financial sites, private repository hosts, and anything that holds your personal information or data.
  • The more strict your settings, the more likely you are to encounter false positives -- where a website that you want to visit is inadvertently blocked. If this happens you can manually add a site to your whitelist, which prevents it from being blocked without needlessly expanding your protected domains list. Adding whitelisted domains allows you to use relatively strict settings without too much interruption.
  • Some complex and modern websites or services will connect to multiple different domains in a single navigation, which (if the domains are similar enough) can cause one or more false positive blocks. This is somewhat uncommon, but it's worth noting. You can work around this by simply adding each of these domains to your whitelist (after checking to make sure that the connections are legitimate and trustworthy, of course!).

Is Donkey Defender Safe?

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.

Donkey Defender requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Donkey Defender has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
