PhishBuddy by Ivan Ryukendo

PhishBuddy warns you when a link you visit or paste looks like phishing. It checks each URL against the PhishBuddy safety backend, so you get a clear safe, suspicious, or dangerous verdict before you trust a site.

Extension Metadata

About this extension
PhishBuddy is a lightweight phishing-warning helper for your browser.

What it does:
- Watches the links you navigate to and the URLs you paste.
- Sends each URL to the PhishBuddy safety backend to be checked.
- Shows a clear verdict: safe, suspicious, or dangerous, with a warning page for dangerous links.

How it checks links:
To check a link, PhishBuddy sends the URL being checked to its own safety backend, and (when enabled) to Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal. Results are briefly cached. PhishBuddy does not create accounts, does not ask for personal information, and does not sell your data. Full details are in the privacy policy.

Important: a clean result means no configured check found a warning. It does not guarantee a site is safe. Always use your own judgement before entering passwords or payment details.

PhishBuddy is source-available under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license. Source code: https://github.com/Ivan-Ryukendo/PhishBuddy
