You SHOULD relay use this add-on if you like your Crypto. UPPWARD is legit and works hard to protect you and your data from multiple threats. no one payed me to say that. :)

Finally a vendor that takes a broader (real) stance on bad actors and not just restricts to malware and phishing related to particular brands like other do. With the input from the community it achieves the best protection, I have come across thus far, from scams till date. Response time from analysts on reported cases currently is excellent and usually a confirmed case is released soon after into the Threat Reputation Database (TRDB). Hope that the app will gain a broad popularity which however may require other languages than just EN to be available as being a barrier for users that are not fluent with EN. Wish that some day it would/could be incorporated in VirusTotal.
