Web of Trust, MyWOT/WOT: Website Reputation Rating by WOT Services
Rated 4 out of 5
4 Stars out of 5
Rated 5 out of 5
It's one of the add-ons I've been using for the longest time. Its logo works as a led light. It changes color according to the reputation of the site you're visiting, thus warning you of potential threats. Gray means there's no record yet about that site, green means no issue, and so on.
In case of scam or other serious danger, it blocks the page with a banner, which the user may however bypass at his own risk.
Sites' reputation is the result of reports from the surfing community. Clicking on the logo, you can access available details, such as rating, type of threat (scam, adult content, etc.) and users' comments or reviews. By registering you can add your own. As it did, and still does to me, it renders an excellent service to stubborn surfers who tend to be carried away by their mouse.

- by Firefox user 15670022, 9 days agoRated 5 out of 5Uma ótima extensão! Sites que decepcionaram mt gente serão desclassificados e isso serve de dica para sabermos sobre fraudes ou coisas fakes que entramos achando ter um conteúdo e acaba tendo outro ou nem tendo conteúdo, só propagandas para lucrar. Com ele vc ao entrar no site, clica no ícone da extensão e já pode classificar e escrever uma nota sobre o site. Isso serve de ajuda pra outros que entrarem já saberem algo sobre o site tb. Ex: Sites com mt propaganda e que aparece escrito clique aqui pra prosseguir, mas na verdade é outro botão ou link que deve clicar para ir para o local verdadeiro, podem ter uma descrição na extensão ensinando onde clicar, se não tiver, vc mesmo cria e ajuda outros a entenderem o site depois de vc! Em um clique apenas vemos vários comentários em diversas línguas sobre o site aberto. Teste em sites grandes como twitch ou youtube e verão o que digo!

- by Firefox user 13434351, a month agoRated 1 out of 5Very biased ratings on any site that is conservative. Liberal sites are highly rated. I was checking out a site that I am familiar with because WOT rated them as a suspect site and I wanted to see why. There were 8 ratings, 6 five star and 2 one star. The average rating was THREE STAR. How was that calculated? The site was rated Yellow based on two derogatory tags and when I tried to rate it I could not access the rating system to comment. This site has been hijacked and is untrustworthy.

In order to be transparent and enable our users to form an independent, unbiased opinion, websites that are of a political nature (on any side of the political map) are tagged on our Scorecard as “Opinions, religion, politics”.
In addition, both WOT users and our advanced algorithms review websites and scan them for malware or malicious activity in order to provide protection against viruses and privacy matters.
Since WOT is a platform powered by crowdsourcing, we enable various opinions and ratings - everyone’s opinion counts and is taken into consideration.
WOT does not interfere in the discourse and does not add, edit or remove comments unless they violate our community guidelines, which can be found here: https://www.mywot.com/guidelines.
We encourage you to engage in the discourse and share your comments and reviews with the community. - by Firefox user 13523508, 2 months agoRated 4 out of 5

posted 3 months agoHey Juri, vielen Dank, dass du das geteilt hast. Wir haben viel Arbeit investiert, um Ihnen diese verbesserte Version zu bringen, und wir freuen uns zu hören, dass Sie sie genießen! - by 12bytes, 3 months agoRated 1 out of 5nothing but censorship disguised as something useful - absolute garbage
and if that isn't enough to dissuade you, read their "privacy" policy
to the developer:
users, as you well know, do not generally form unbiased opinions, something that can only be done through research and a lack of confirmation bias - thus, since this same user base is asked to vet content, WOT is useless at best ... of course i'm sure your shareholder(s) will disagreeDeveloper response

Будьте осторожны, нельзя доверять.
