Known Sites Firefox

Known Sites

Blocks websites which the user had not opened before.

Features & Capabilities

Blocks websites which the user had not opened before.

The goal of this extension is to help protect against phishing attacks and against accidental typos when typing a URL. Users should however still be vigilant when opening links.

This is a hobby project and might not provide good protection. Do not rely on it for professional phishing protection.

Browser history and bookmarks are used to determine whether the user has opened a website before. The data is kept locally on the device, it is not transferred to any server and not used for any other purposes.

Is Known Sites 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.

Known Sites requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
