[QUOTE="Rolo, post: 598661, member: 37118"] That would also require infallibility, which none of us have as a trait. For example, today I wanted to update my NIC driver, so I started to type "r-e-a-l-" and my browser filled the rest in (realtek dot two-letter-top-level-domain-for-Taiwan) and I hit enter. Bitdefender Free (NOT Traficlight) blocked a trojan and Chrome had an obvious phishing prompt (I really wish browsers did not have modal dialog boxes). The real URL is realtek.com.tw. Additionally, some of us look for products to recommend to or implement for others, who are likely not as savvy, if at all. A client googled "iTunes login" and clicked on the link that said it was official. It wasn't official. Neither uBlock Origin, SmartScreen, Google or Chrome blocked this obvious (to me and to you) site. After this event is when I tested all these browser extensions and WoT is the only one that flagged this and other fake sites. I am surprised how many go unchecked. [/QUOTE]
