Extension summary

Autocomplete suggestions from the Chrome address bar can be very helpful sometimes for the fast and convenient browse of information. However, not all the website URLs popping up in the autocomplete of your address bar will lead you to a safe and secure destination. In this extension, we integrated WOT’s website rating system to display the SitesRank safety scores of the domains which appear in your autocomplete suggestions. Before you click on any domains, you can view the safety scores and avoid the low-rating sites to keep your browsing secure and safe.

Alternatively, you can also check the safety scores of each domain from inside the extension’s action window. Don’t forget to enter a valid URL (example: amazon.com).

What is WOT? Web of Trust is a website reputation and review service that helps people make informed decisions about whether to trust a website or not. In this extension, we integrate with the WOT API. We are not responsible for their rating scores and cannot guarantee that the scores are 100% accurate.

You can turn on/off the function of SitesRank Scores at any time from the extension’s action window.

  3. Change your default search engine. We require this permission to change your default search engine to our search domain search.mySafeBrowsing.net, powered by Yahoo. We need to change your default search engine in order to provide the functionality of displaying SitesRank Scores from the autocomplete suggestions of your address bar. If you want to use a different option, we also support Bing and Google in this extension. You can make the change from inside the extension’s Settings at any time.
