Google Safe Browsing 1.1

Publisher's description of Google Safe Browsing

Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more sophisticated, widespread and dangerous. That's why it's important to browse safely with Google Safe Browsing. By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that's trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.

  Google Safe Browsing

  Mandatory for Firefox

  by: ExtremeDownloader on 22-Mar-2006 03:09:39 PM

  Pros: Extremely excellent product! Simple and provides a test page. Advanced URL Sending feature can be enabled to provide a community of protection. You can also repost phishing. A really good thing about this is that it is NOT compatible with Internet Explorer, only Firefox!

  Cons: When Firefox 2 comes out with phishing filter, people will not need this anymore (don't know of new versions).
