Extension summary

OmniChecker is a security extension that safely steers you away from cybersquatted sites without requiring your input. Its use of a Bayesian scoring system ensures that the URL of every web page you visit is pre-assigned with a level of trust, thus keeping the potentially harmful ones at bay.

The Shields: After installation, you'll notice a coloured shield at the top right corner of you browser for every web page you visit. The colour of that shield represents the reputation of the website you're on. Green stands for 'Legitimate site', grey for 'Unknown site', and red for 'Cybersquatted site'.

If your domain name has been cybersquatted, please click on the shield to file a complaint.
