⚪️Grey: The site hasn't been categorized. It's not necessarily unsafe, so proceed with caution!
🔴Red: The site is most likely dangerous. If you visit a malicious website, the plugin will notify you that you are on an unsafe site and you'll be sent back to safety. You're also able to bypass the warning if you need!
We're always looking to make the plugin better. Please let us know if you have any suggestions or ideas.
