The webroot green checkmarks are missing on chrome since my latest computer update, even though the extension is still activated.. Please fix this - I love the checkmarks!
after update to the extension or chromium engine (broken in brave and chrome browsers), this extension is less than useful.
Used this extension for a very long time to detect what sites would be potentially malicious and helped me stay safe. now it seems that whatever update they made to it completely broke it and its no longer functional, pretty disappointing. Choosing to use malwarebytes instead now.
