URL Checker Extension

URL Checker is a chrome extension that aims to help its users avoid online scams. Many online scams use copies of famous websites to scam people. This is especially true in areas such as NFTs, housing scams and postal package scams. Most of these scams could be avoided, however this requires extreme care and attention to detail. This is why even people who are particularly familiar with the web and the internet world can still fall for these scams and this is normal, as they are often very well thought out.
This is why we have decided to bring a new solution.

Namely URL Checker

Our chrome extension aims to authenticate the URLs of the sites you visit in order to warn you if you find yourself on a fraudulent site.

And nothing more.

We do not want to order or direct you.

Our only ambition is to be an advisor who simply warns you.

Just think of URL Checker as a little ally on your side that prevents you from being fooled by the web.

We want to be a tool to help make the web a safer place. To let creators, artists, innovators, business people and so on.
