Phish.Watch

Detects suspicious links and phishing indicators to help you browse more safely.

><(((º> Beta Test Release <º)))>< ABOUT PHISH.WATCH Phish.Watch is a privacy-focused anti-phishing extension that helps you judge whether a website or link is safe to trust. It analyzes pages, links, redirects, and related warning signals locally in your browser, then shows clear on-page and in-browser warnings when something looks suspicious. Some features can also take limited preventive action, such as preserving link destinations, forcing pages to HTTPS, or blocking certain unsafe behaviors. No browsing data is collected by Phish.Watch, though standard Chrome Web Store analytics and routine server logs from list updates may still exist. WHY WE BUILT IT People are often told to avoid suspicious links and make sure they are really on the site they expect before entering a password or other sensitive information. In practice, that can be hard to judge. Phish.Watch was built to make those trust decisions easier by surfacing useful signals at the moment they matter, while still leaving the final decision in the user’s hands. FREE FOR PERSONAL USE This extension is free for personal use. Please contact us if you are interested in using Phish.Watch to help protect your business. ><(((º> CORE FEATURE Clear site assessments where and when you need them Phish.Watch surfaces results through the extension icon, link hover information, and page warnings so the most relevant context is available before you click or sign in. Phish.Watch is meant to support your judgment, not replace it. ✅ Looks Good ⎿ Signals that suggest a page is expected and likely safe to continue. ⎿ Examples may include known login or payment pages, bookmarks, and sites you visit regularly. ⚠️ Review Carefully ⎿ Signals that should make you pause and confirm that you are really where you intended to go. ⎿ Examples may include unfamiliar sites, mismatched link text and destination, unusual or very low-cost top-level domains, user-generated page hosting, and heavily encoded URLs. ⛔ Watch Out ⎿ Stronger indicators that a page or destination may be deceptive or unsafe. ⎿ Examples may include links that use an IP address instead of a domain, newly registered domains, misleading character substitutions, non-standard ports, or suspicious page structures associated with credential theft. ✓ Informational ⎿ Additional context that may be useful, but is not strong enough on its own to change the overall result. ⎿ Examples may include sites commonly visited by other users, sites that require encryption, and other lower-weight trust signals. ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS Phish.Watch also includes a small set of preventive protections that directly support its anti-phishing purpose: 🛑 Block certain high-risk destinations when supported by the relevant protection rule 🔒 Force page encryption (HTTPS), intentionally breaking sites that do not support secure access ⏸️ Warn on pages that may be abused by scammers, such as remote-control software or app-password creation flows 🧊 Freeze link destinations to help prevent last-moment link swapping 📋 Block automated clipboard writes associated with clickfix-style attacks
