Web Extension Tool
Do you feel unsure if the website you are using is reliable? Do you want to know more how to spot suspicious websites when browsing online? As part of the CheckMate project we have produced the CheckMate web extension tool that allows you to check each website you visit for their reliability. Based on some criteria, the tool analyses if the website is safe to use and gives you a better feeling while navigating the net.
The tool works right now with Google Chrome and needs to be downloaded from this website, similar to an ad-on blocker. Please find below also a users guide.
