Web of Trust, MyWOT/WOT: Website Reputation Rating by WOT Services
Rated 3.9 out of 5
3.9 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 WmRobt, a month agoRated 5 out of 5Too many times I am trying to reset the password and throwing an error. That leads me to ask, what are the limits to the characters admitted, and are there edits excluding some characters? I found no help to reset a password within the web page, and the help on the site is no help at all. What is allowed and what is NOT allowed in a password?
Dear user, thanks for reaching out. Please try using only letters and numbers, with no signs or symbols. Let us know if that works!
Thank you. That's just what I needed. I suggest that you add this information to your on-site help.Developer response
posted 17 days agoSure - we are happy to help and we will make sure that it is clearer that passwords on myWOT should include only letters and numbers, with no signs or symbols. - by Radomis, a month agoRated 5 out of 5

"The NDR investigation discovered that while you have the WOT extension installed, extensive data collection is going on in the background. But WOT not only collects and records data on a per-user basis, it then analyzes and sells it on to third parties."
"The WOT Privacy Policy states that your IP, geographic location, device type, operating system, browser, the date and time, Web addresses, and overall browser usage are all collected, but that it is "non-identifiable." But NDR found that it was a simple task to link the anonymized data to individual users of the service. The data retrieved included:
Account name
Mail address
Travel plans
Illnesses
Sexual preference
Drug consumption
Confidential company information
Ongoing police investigations
Browser surfing activity including all sites visited"Developer response

WOT has come a long way since that article in 2016, and is now a different product than the one described in the article.
