- Vurdering: 1 av 5av Philip Goddard, 10 månader sidan(updated 6 September 2023) On the face of it, WOT is a great idea, but it wrongly gives some completely safe, authentic and trustworthy sites a poor safety rating -- two of my own sites suffering thus at the moment. For this sort of thing it's necessary for the site owner to be able to contact WOT admin directly, and not go through the cumbersome, lengthy, and indeed unreliable business of posting in the Forum to get members to review the affected site(s), or/and jump through other hoops -- but as far as I can make out, there are no such means.
Also, crowd-sourced ratings are worse than useless for giving a proper impression of validity, authenticity and overall quality of a site's contents, with regard to any subject matter about which most people hold beliefs -- such as religion, spirituality, New-Age and related areas, and indeed so-called 'mental health' (which is based in the materialistic reductionism belief system). In all such cases, the majority, belief-driven view takes priority over the more rational, objective (observation-based) view, and what the ratings are indicating is NOT any quality of the respective site contents, but simply their popularity -- which at best isn't particularly useful, and generally is seriously misleading.
One of my own sites is impacted thus, and it's galling to see so many belief-based sites (intrinsically misinformational because belief stands in the way of seeing what's really there) getting high ratings just because the respective beliefs are popular or traditional, while my own pioneering belief-free, objectively based site has only a so-so rating despite a string of very positive reviews from people who've genuinely benefited from that site.
Extrapolating from how my own sites are being treated by WOT, it's very reasonable always to be very circumspect about WOT ratings.
**Update, 6 August 2023**
I responded to the so-called Developer response to this review, with a detailed and constructive rundown on the various problems about WOT and asking for my wrongly 'usafe' and 'suspicious' rated sites to have their ratings corrected.
These people are mindbogglinly complacent and self-serving. All I got back was their standard BS line, with clear indications that this was just a pasted standard message, and one has to conclude that the contents of my message went unread.
I've therefore decreased my rating to one star.
I've tried to give WOT reasonable benefit of doubt, but they show themselves to be right out of touch with any sense of genuine human responsibility for what they're doing. Sure, it's a service, but the question is, who it's really serving. Not decent and conscientious websites and their owners, that's for sure! -- The WOT people should be hanging their heads in shame! - Vurdering: 1 av 5av Firefox user 18002124, 10 månader sidanrecently a few relible and well know websites got red and orange colour for no reason. Tried to contact WOT but got two times same copy / pasted response.

It blocks them each time you try to visit even after reporting the site as safe. Meanwhile obvious scam sites are not blocked.

Спасибо, конечно, за ценное расширение, но теперь с ним хуже, чем без него. К тому же, у нас в Беларуси НЕЛЬЗЯ НИЧЕГО КУПИТЬ сейчас. Опять же тормоза и задержки жуткие с этим расширением везде.

We invite you to contact us directly if have any questions, thanks. - Vurdering: 1 av 5av Firefox user 17293278, 2 år sidanThis used to be a good add-on, but last year they redesigned it to be basically non-functional unless you register for their services.
It also vastly slows down browsing; for me it was adding 10-15 seconds for EVERY page load, and significantly slowing down browsing within pages. This was going on for months, which I attributed to browser updates, but after removing this specific extension the problem was immediately resolved.
You can see in older reviews that they keep claiming this was a bug that they've fixed, which is clearly not true.
Do not install this. If you still have it installed from back when it was worth using, the sooner you get rid of it the better.Svar frå utviklaren

- Vurdering: 1 av 5av BristolJohn, 3 år sidanUseless add-on, all it does it promote it's "premium" option. On the first day of attaching it I was hit 10 times in the browser and received four emails about upgrading to the premium membership- whilst not receiving anything at it's basic level. As far as the add-on goes, there are much more open sourced, clear and honest add-ons that offer far more protection and cover that can be selected. I've now directed all mail from them direct to spam/ auto delete (as request to remove my profile has been accepted but ignored!)

Our new version was just released and we encourage you to try it and please contact us directly as we could not find a deletion request from you, thanks. - Vurdering: 1 av 5av alve_s, 3 år sidanI found out that this extension adds about 5 seconds to all page loads for me, which makes it almost unusable.
I don't know if this is due to another extension I have installed that is incompatible, but uninstalling this made my browser much faster.Svar frå utviklaren
