Main Features
The Safe Site Web Extension works with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari browsers, and it detects potentially dangerous or fraudulent websites before they may harm the user's device. The extension's huge database of dangerous URLs ensures that if a user mistakenly visits a harmful site, they will be safely routed away and informed of the danger, allowing them to browse with confidence.
The Clean & Speed Up Web Extension is intended to improve the user's web browsing experience by removing unwanted browsing data, erasing cached files, and speeding up their favorite websites. The Scanguard extension also removes advertisements and distracting noise from news articles, blogs, and other content pages, allowing the user to concentrate on key information and enjoy uninterrupted, clean web browsing.
The extension's security features are industry-leading and ensure the user's safety. The Performance Features ensure that the user's system is optimised for maximum performance and lifespan, whereas the Privacy Features safeguard the user's data from hackers and snoopers, protecting them from falling victim to frauds.
The plugin also incorporates additional safeguards that protect the user from various sorts of dangerous software. The Malware Guard defends against Trojan horses and worms that can harm a user's PC or smartphone, whilst the Ransomware Guard defends against personal cyber-attacks that encrypt personal files and demand a payment to restore access. The Spyware Guard protects against software that collects information about the user without their knowledge, whilst the Aware Guard defends against software that repeatedly displays intrusive adverts.
The Safe Browsing (VPN) feature lets users stay secure and private when browsing the internet by encrypting and rerouting their browsing data across a global network of secure servers, rendering their browsing activity unhackable and untraceable by illegal snoopers. Furthermore, the capability enables the user to access media content from all over the world, avoiding geo-restrictions.
Other extension features include a Cookie Cleaner, which removes tracking cookies used by advertisers to track the user's activities and target them with unwanted ads, a Password Vault, which stores all of their passwords in one place, and an Ad Block Pro, which removes annoying and unwanted ads from their browsing experience.
