In this article we will present extensions for the Google Chrome web browser with which you can protect all your personal and banking data that you enter on the Internet. Phishing is very difficult to avoid and detect, but its consequences are related to financial scams. That’s why protection extensions are a very good prevention method.
What these add-ons do is warn you that you may be scammed by phishing programs and in this way you can leave that suspicious website.
Anti-Phishing & Authenticity Checker
We’ll start with Anti-Phishing & Authenticity Checker, a utility that protects you from phishing on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google. The extension gives you a verification check for each page you visit (from the mentioned ones), and when you see the icon in green everything is fine, but if you see the icon in red you may be a victim of phishing.
Anti-Phishing & Authenticity Checker is a free extension available for Google Chrome web browsers.
Netcraft Extension
Netcraft Extension is a more powerful tool than the previous one, because it explores all the pages you browse for threats. From its interface you will have more information about the site, such as where the server is hosted, its status, ranking, and how long it has been online, among other data.
Netcraft Extension is a free extension available for Google Chrome web browsers.
PhishDetector
PhishDetector also scans all the sites you browse to look for any type of phishing threat. But unlike the other add-ons, it focuses on banking phishing, which is the most feared by all users who buy or access their bank online.
PhishDetector is a free extension available for Google Chrome web browsers.
Cascaded Phish Detector
We’ll finish with Cascaded Phish Detector, a tool focused on detecting phishing websites. The platform performs a scan and when you click on its icon you can see a complete report of the webpage you are browsing.
Cascaded Phish Detector is a free extension available for Google Chrome web browsers.
Although Google Chrome is a secure browser against phishing, the four extensions to protect your computer from phishing don’t hurt and help to improve the security of your computer.
