Features & Capabilities

Shield Your Browsing With URL Verifier Explore the web with peace of mind. Our extension actively warns you of suspicious URLs, ensuring you land exactly where you intend to, every time.

Why URL Verifier? Navigating the web can sometimes lead you astray. A slight typo, for instance, "rn" instead of "m", or confusing "i" with an "l", can redirect you to an entirely different site. This is where URL Verifier steps in, highlighting URLs in bold red to help you spot differences quickly and easily.

Minimal Permissions, Maximum Security! Unlike some other extensions, URL Verifier respects your privacy. We have certified with Firefox that we do not collect Web history, Location, Personal communication, Financial information, Health information or any other PII.

Typo Squatting - A Thing of the Past Typo squatting is a common trick hackers use, directing you to fraudulent sites by manipulating URLs. URL Verifier empowers you to confirm the authenticity of the site you're accessing, preventing typo squatting in its tracks.

Case in Point - The WellPoint Incident A few years ago, numerous health insurance customers fell victim to a typosquatting attack. They were directed to "we11point.com" instead of "wellpoint.com". URL Verifier is designed to prevent such incidents, ensuring your online safety by providing the URL in bold red text rather than easy to miss and often hard to read text in the URL field.

Navigate with Confidence Consider a scenario where you accidentally type "intuiit.com" instead of "intuit.com". URL Verifier highlights suspicious parameters, providing a clear view of how different the fraudulent or suspicious website looks from the genuine one.

Secure Your Financial Data Protect your financial data from falling into the wrong hands. A typo-squatting attempt can lead to devastating losses, especially with sensitive financial accounts. Stay safe with URL Verifier.

Confirm Your Safe Browsing With URL Verifier, you can easily confirm that you're browsing safely. Our extension displays URLs in bold red, a stark contrast to the default black text in your browser, enabling you to spot typos and irregularities at a glance.

Is URL Verifier 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.

URL Verifier requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

URL Verifier may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
