Hi guys, I' making this thread to share with you this freeware extension of Mozilla Firefox.
WOT extension lets you know which sites are dangerous for the security of your PC.
Any research being done on the search engine is followed by a graphical indicator next to the site/URL, the alert is a traffic light graphic that indicates the level of hazard of the site.

WOT extension is avalaible also for Google Chrome and its clones.
Thanks to @frogboy

WOT is not very good extension because is user-based and a lot non-phishing/malware sites are claimed as Malware/Phishing

Web of Trust is an old browser extension, and I suggest that users should not be dependent on the ratings.

Modern Browsers can protect users from Phishing sites and Malicious downloads.

At least WOT incorporate with other third party partners like MDL, Malc0de and many more to balance and make a verdict accurate on the site included in the blacklists. ;)

Not really useful as it based off users opinion, they can be faked to make a malicious site look more reputable.
