Aleksa Malesevic (ID: 00000093f41d5edb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/01/2024 Lately, it will provide a notification daily imploring me to upgrade to some premium form of the service. I really dislike this. No thanks. If it keeps up without a setting to turn this off, I'll probably uninstall it. Apart from that, it works just as fine as it has for the past few years. Actually, just now, a very obviously malicious https://antivirusarmorhub (dot) xyz/ site was flagged as FULLY LEGIT, so I'm going to uninstall this, as it's pretty much useless now if not downright dangerous.

J J (ID: 000000dde7a51409) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/29/2024 Ublock Origin definitions blocks WOT. I'll keep UBO and dump this. WOT asks for money too.

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/28/2023 (Update 2023/12/28) I've been keeping up with WoT for the last decade now, since my college days even. With the cumulative offenses that WoT has piled up: the destruction/deletion of their own community forums (hence obliterating anymore non-private communication with them), undetermined sources of votes (green/red reputation, but no or lack of votes in the site's rating scorecard despite requiring comments to rate), gradual degradation of their add-on (surprises me to no end how they're able to make the add-on worse every update); the alarming, 'Gmail origin'-misleading, red GMail top bar notification is the last straw. A shame, there's not been a community-like alternative, but it might be for the better. There's been alot other ways to safeguard your visits. I hope uninformed fellows read the reviews first as this add-on still carries the positive votes from way back. I'll still continue to rate sites but only manually and without their extension; this is to help the unfortunate others still using the add-on to keep them informed still. It's almost the year-end; high time to move on from this. You were a helpful, undemanding 2nd opinion for sites; now a forced attempts of protection that gets in our way.
