The plugin will indicate different colors depending on the website you're visiting.

Green: Indicates that the domain is known and likely safe. For example, if you visit myetherwallet.com, the PhishFort Status Icon will glow blue.
Grey: The site hasn't been categorized. It's not necessarily unsafe, but proceed with caution!
Red: The site is most likely dangerous. If you visit myWetherwallet.com (a typosquatting attack), the plugin will notify you that you are on an unsafe site and you'll be sent back to safety. You're also able to bypass the warning if you need!

Extension safety

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.

PhishFort | Protect requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

PhishFort | Protect may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
