Dr.Web Link Checker Extension

Dr.Web Link Checker is a free extension for Google Chrome that can instantly scan webpages and files downloaded from the Internet, and block website attempts to monitor user activity and display advertisements.

If, for some reason, you have not yet entrusted Dr.Web products to defend your computers, use Dr.Web Link Checker, and surf the World Wide Web without fear of virus attacks, phishing attempts, and annoying ads!
