Web of Trust (WOT) is a reputation service that’s designed to help users in identifying potentially malicious websites. If you want to protect yourself against scams, spam, and rogue online stores, download and install the WOT browser extension.

The developers have created extensions for Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Once installed, the user simply needs to decide which protection profile suits their needs best.

The “basic” protection displays ratings in a pop-up window. If you don’t want to be bugged, you can select the “light” setting, which doesn’t display any pop-ups. In case you want to make sure your children can’t access unsafe websites, choose the “parental control” profile.

Each website is rated based on two factors: child safety and trustworthiness. Users can post comments to contribute with information.
