WoTT (Web of Trust) is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera that analyzes websites and assigns them a trustworthiness score along with safety ratings in various categories. It aims to help users identify potential risks when browsing the web.
When you visit a website, WoTT will display an icon in your browser toolbar indicating the site's overall reputation score on a scale of 0 to 100. The higher the score, the more trustworthy the site. You can click the icon to see more detailed ratings in areas like privacy, vendor reliability, and child safety.
WoTT determines scores based on a combination of user reviews and automated testing. Millions of WoTT users have contributed experiences and feedback on sites to help identify problems like phishing attempts, malware downloads, spam, unauthorized charges, and privacy violations.
In addition to showing reputation scores, WoTT warns you of risky sites that may threaten your security or privacy before you provide sensitive information. It can also block sites entirely based on your preferences. Users are encouraged to leave their own reviews as well.
Overall, WoTT aims to guide users towards more credible sites while avoiding dangerous or deceptive ones. It provides useful insight into lesser known sites in particular. The crowdsourced ratings can serve as a useful reality check before trusting sites with sensitive data.
