SafeToOpen 8.0.0 — Major upgrade

This release brings the Firefox extension to full parity with our latest Chrome release and migrates it to Manifest V3.
New protection features

Login safety checks — Before you type a password, SafeToOpen now checks the page for warning signs: brand impersonation, very new domains, login forms hosted on free/shared hosting platforms, forms that submit your password to a different website or over an unencrypted connection, and disguised (look-alike) field labels used by phishing kits.
Brand impersonation detection — Pages that prominently display a well-known brand (banks, postal services, government portals) while being hosted somewhere else are now flagged before you sign in.
Link scanning in webmail and AI assistants — Links are now checked directly inside Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Proton Mail, and popular search and AI assistant pages, with safety badges shown next to them.
Deceptive link detection — Links whose visible text shows one domain but actually navigate to another are flagged.
Tracker blocking — Optional blocking of known trackers, with per-site controls and a counter showing what was blocked on each page.
Deeper Analysis — A one-click detailed report for any page: domain age, hosting and certificate information, redirect chain, mixed content, and more.

Improvements

Migrated to Manifest V3 with Firefox's built-in data-collection consent experience.
Clearer page-status badges (safe ✓, suspicious !, dangerous ✕, paused ⏸).
Updated alerts, popup, and settings pages; expanded language support.
Performance improvements and reduced background resource usage via event pages.

Notes for Firefox users

The toolbar button is available under the Extensions menu on Firefox for Android.
Right-click menu items (Scan this page, Trust this page, etc.) are available on desktop only.

We have fixed the following bugs:

• Edge Assist (if enabled) was appearing with issues on about:blank tabs. We have removed Edge Assist from about:blank tabs.
• We fixed an issue where, if a user had selected "Trusted this page," the extension would still display a popup warning message when they clicked on a previously known unsafe link.

We have added "Contact Support" in the extension popup menu so that users can easily create requests, report bugs and request new features.

In this submission, we’ve introduced the SafeToOpen Assistant, which can be enabled from the SafeToOpen popup. It offers users several options—for example, “About This Website” provides information about the domain name and the services it offers.

Additionally, users can now disable Auto-Scan Risky Pages. This allows them to manually initiate scans of suspicious websites and view the information being collected before the scan begins.

Added "About this website" Function to inform users in their language the service that the domain name provides.
