Nicole Ahmed (ID: 000000a5eb87142e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/09/2023 Good for getting the ScamAdviser score easily for every page you visit - and also setting security levels higher, so that you get notifications for sites that aren't commonly used by people (good for fake stores, pretend software, phishing etc). Would be much better if you could click on the extension to see the page for full details and even better if you could submit reviews from the extension (like the netcraft extension does)
