WOT for Firefox Description

WOT (Web of Trust) is a web browser extension which notifies you whether a website is trustworthy or not, by giving it a rating. Therefore, you can protect your computer against spyware, adware, spam and other malicious agents available through the online environment.

Once installed, WOT places an green icon in the toolbar. Clicking it reveals a rating between “very poor” and “excellent” regarding the website’s trustworthiness, vendor reliability, privacy and child safety. It depends on how you choose to configure it.

Based on these ratings, you can make a decision whether it is safe to proceed to a particular website or to stay away from it. WOT also provides you with the possibility of giving your own rating for websites, in order to make your own input to the community. After all, the ratings available through the app are based on the opinions of other users like yourself.

A very important feature of WOT shows the rating of websites when you are searching for a specific item on specialized engines like Google. Therefore, you can quickly evaluate a long list of websites, based on WOT’s ratings. The search engines can be selected through the Search section in MyWot.com.

Plus, you can make the app show ratings for the search results in a pop-up window, automatically log in to MyWot.com to enable extension-required features and to re-create the toolbar button if it gets removed. But you can also enable the color blind accessible version of WOT, disable the add-on when starting a private session, or create an exclusion list for websites.

WOT barely uses CPU and system memory, so it’s not a concern to the computer’s overall performance. It has not caused us any issues during our tests, such as making the web browser hang, crash or display error dialogs. All in all, WOT for Firefox is a reliable web browser add-on for users who want to secure their online browsing experience.
