Extension stats
Extension summary
Protect your web experience from malware and other security risks with a free, secure and reliable tool. Designed to safeguard your internet browsing, CIRA Canadian Shield allows you and your family to safely learn, play and search online.
This plugin for Canadian internet users provides visual cues to indicate whether a site is potentially harmful or not. When the extension icon is green, you can browse safely; red will restrict access and present the user with a block page.
Choose between two levels of protection and lock it with PIN protection:
Protected: offers security against malware, phishing, botnet and scams
Family: offers the same security to your household as the Protected level and blocks sexual
What is PIN protection?
PIN protection allows the main user or administrator to lock their protection level in place with a unique four-to-six-digit combination that only they know. Whether you’re sharing your device with others or browsing the internet in public, this feature helps everyone safely (and discreetly) navigate the internet. Under the Family mode, the PIN protection stops children from gaining access to adult content that could be visible under Protected mode.
