About this extension
URL Security Scanner is a privacy first security tool designed to protect you from phishing, malware, and suspicious links without tracking your browsing history. Unlike other scanners that send every URL to a cloud server, this extension performs its core analysis locally on your device.
🛡️ Key Features:
* Local-First Analysis: Instantly detects suspicious patterns, IP addresses, and known phishing indicators without exposing your data.
* Link X-Ray: Right-click any link to "Scan Target" before you visit. See the final destination, redirect chains, and risk score in a sleek tooltip.
* Safe View Mode: Open risky links in a sandboxed environment that strips scripts and harmful code, allowing you to read content safely.
* Redirect Tracker: Detects and warns you about excessive redirect chains often used by scammers to hide malicious destinations.
* Privacy by Design: No account required. No browsing history is sent to the cloud. External lookups (like domain age) are performed anonymously.
Why use URL Security Scanner?
Most security tools trade your privacy for protection. We believe you can have both. Whether you are checking a suspicious email link or verifying a site's age, URL Security Scanner gives you the intelligence you need to browse safely.
