互联网(Internet)上的安全是一个不容忽视的问题。由于这些天我们的生活与互联网是多么的融合和交织在一起，我们似乎认为网上冲浪是解决我们大多数问题的第一个答案。虽然这种想法很有魅力，但在大多数情况下，它有时会让我们冒险陷入困境。我们最终可能会访问提供不适当内容的网站，以窃取您的个人信息的方式设置他们的滑稽动作，或者成为恶意软件的滋生地。对您来说幸运的是，Internet以浏览器扩展(Internet)WOT的形式提供了解决方案。
Web of Trust 安全吗？
受Windows、macOS、Android和 iOS 平台上超过 1.41 亿用户的信任，Web of Trust (WOT)是一个网站 URL 扫描器和链接检查器插件(Website URL Scanners & Link Checker addon)，有助于让您的互联网冲浪体验更安全、更方便。它的机制很简单，但以最好、最方便的方式完成工作。所以，是的，它是安全可靠的！
WOT（信任(Trust)网络(Web)）浏览(Browser)器扩展
正如我所说，使用WOT非常容易。该插件可以从他们的官方网站下载，适用于Chrome、Firefox等浏览器。它可以快速设置，并且可以在所选浏览器上运行。
每次您在网络上进行搜索时，都会在相关链接旁边显示一个空心圆圈。绿色标志表示该链接可以安全访问，而红色圆圈表示其他情况。还存在红色和黄色标志，旨在覆盖两个极端之间的灰色区域。
WOT上的网站根据四个指标进行评分：
- 值得信赖，
- 儿童安全，
- 供应商的可靠性，以及
- 隐私。
如果您单击一个这样的圆圈，则会显示各个WOT用户对该网站的总体评分。通过单击“查看完整记分牌”链接，您将被定向到特定网站的myWOT页面，您可以在其中阅读人们对该网站的评论。

如果您已经登陆该网站并且现在担心它是否会以任何方式损害您的隐私，WOT也为您提供了保障。在浏览器窗口的右上角，所有扩展都位于其中，是WOT。
您可以点击它查看网站的评分。此扩展窗口还为您提供有关此特定链接具有的所有跟踪器的信息，您可以选择阻止您认为不必要的跟踪器。这些跟踪器通常会获取您的浏览数据并将其用于有针对性的广告。

WOT browser extension will tell you which sites are safe to visit
Safety on the Internet is a matter that does not deserve to be taken lightly. Because of how integrated and intertwined our lives are with the internet these days, we seеm to think of web surfing as the first answer to most of our prоblems. And while this thinking works like a charm, for the mоst part, it сan sometimes make us venture into troubled waters. We may end up visitіng websites that offer inappropriate content, have their antics ѕet υp in a wаy to steal your personal details, or are a breeding housе for malware. Fortunately for you, it is the Internet that has the solution to it, in the form of browser extenѕion WOT.
Is Web of Trust safe?
Trusted by over 141 million users across Windows, macOS, Android and iOS platforms, Web of Trust (WOT) is a Website URL Scanners & Link Checker addon that helps make your internet surfing experience safer and more convenient. Its mechanism is simple but does the job in the best, most convenient way possible. So, yes it is safe and reliable!
WOT (Web of Trust) Browser Extension
Using WOT, as I said, is pretty easy. The add-on can be downloaded from their official website for browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc. It sets up quickly and can be seen working on the selected browser.
Every time you make a search on the web, it is going to show a hollowed-out circle next to the relevant links. A green sign would mean that the link is safe to visit, while the red circle signals otherwise. There also exist red and yellow signs, that are meant to cover the gray area between the two extremes.
Sites on WOT are rated on four metrics:
- Trustworthiness,
- Child safety,
- Vendor reliability, and
- Privacy.
If you click on one such circle, the overall ratings given to the website by various WOT users are displayed. By clicking on the ‘View full scoreboard’ link, you’ll be directed to the myWOT page of the particular website where you can read the reviews given to the website by people.

This search can, alternatively, be made using the myWOT website. There, on the top-left corner, is a search pane where you can type the website that you are suspicious about or just want to see the ratings of. Clicking on a website that is poorly rated by WOT pops on your screen a warning message, indicating the issues you may face if you go on to visit the site. You can view the full report on WOT’s suspected suspicious activity, choose to visit the site, or have the warning message never display again.
In case you have already landed on the website and are now concerned if it is harming your privacy in any way, WOT has you covered there too. On the top-right corner of the browser window, where all extensions are housed, is WOT.
You can click on it to see how the website is rated. This extension window also feeds you information on all the trackers this particular link had, with an option for you to block the ones you feel are unnecessary. These trackers generally take your browsing data and use it for targeted advertising.
In conclusion, I believe one must have the WOT extension installed in his/her browser and actively use it too. Not only is it fast, free, and easy to use (or uninstall), but is also backed by substantial online documentation and leaves enough room for users to customize its working to the way they prefer it.
WOT works as a one-stop-shop to countering the major demons of web browsing; scams, malware, pop-ups, inappropriate content, you name it. Visit their official website MyWOT.com to download the WOT browser add-on.
