This extension guards against coordinated pharting attack vectors targeting unsuspecting users who lower their guard when accessing fradulent websites.
By analyzing and intercepting such attacks, users are given a chance to review their options to either continue as-is, continue using a fake profile, or end the web session.
The interception also encourages users to exercise critical thinking and therefore providing fodder to be weary of future attacks.
This extension makes use of your bookmarks and history to facilitate it's analysis. (All your personal data does not leave your computer and is therefore safe to use.) If a website appears to be initiating a pharting attack but the website has previously been bookmarked by the user, it is assumed that the user trusts that website and the web session is allowed to continue.
If a website appears to be initiating a pharting attack and the user has visited that website multiple times in the past, the intercepted page will inform the user, allowing the user to make an informed decision whether to proceed or stop.
This extension does not communicate with any servers and does not track the user. However the Extension Store which you are using to download this extension may track you according to their Terms and Conditions.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
