User Reviews

Users appreciate Trend Micro Toolbar for its strong privacy and ad-blocking capabilities, and its smooth background operation. However, multiple reviews mention usability issues such as hard-to-read background highlights on Bing searches in Firefox, intrusive pop-up warnings, and poor dark mode support that results in jarring link highlights.

Pros

Effectively blocks trackers and ads to enhance privacy and browser safety.
Runs smoothly in the background without issues.
Provides helpful features for safer browsing.

Cons

Background color highlighting on Bing search results in Firefox is hard to read.
Pop-up warning boxes interfere with reading lists of possible links.
Incompatibility with browser dark mode causes awkward white highlighting boxes that affect user experience.

Recent reviews

Google検索では問題ないけど、Bing検索ではヒットしたサイトのタイトル文字列に濃緑色の背景色が付いて非常に見づらい。Google ChromeやEdgeからBing検索したときにはそんなことはないのでFirefox版だけの症状だと思う。「評価されたリンクを色別で表示」の設定を無効にすれば直るけど、デフォルトで背景色を普通というか無色にしてほしい。

Is Trend Micro Toolbar 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.

Trend Micro Toolbar 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 Add-ons Store, 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.

Trend Micro Toolbar may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
