SafeBrowse Firefox

SafeBrowse

Stop phishing, fake login pages, and malicious sites before they load. SafeBrowse checks every site in real time using trusted threat intelligence — no tracking, no ads, no slowdown.

Features & Capabilities

SafeBrowse is a security-focused Firefox extension that protects users from malicious, phishing, and scam websites.

How SafeBrowse works: Intercepts links before the page loads Checks domains against live threat intelligence Instantly blocks dangerous pages with a clear warning Lets you override or allow trusted sites

When a user navigates to a website, SafeBrowse checks the destination against trusted threat intelligence sources and DNS-based security intelligence, via a secure server-side service.

No personal data is collected or stored by the extension. Website checks are performed anonymously, and all threat analysis is handled externally to keep the browser extension lightweight and privacy-respecting.

Is SafeBrowse 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.

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