“WOT relies on its users who value millions of sites based on their experience,” said Markus Suomi , executive director of Web of Trust. “The more users there are with us, the more efficient and valuable the service is for the entire community. That's why his growth is important to us. ”
The WOT tool helps users find reliable websites by displaying an icon in traffic light colors next to links. A certain color means the degree of confidence in the site.
“Trust” is calculated based on the opinions of millions of users and information from additional technical sources. You can become a WOT user by downloading an add-on to your browser (supported by Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera).
Reputational ratings protect users around the world from specific problems that classic antiviruses cannot protect against: questionable site content, suspicious or unreliable online stores, potential leaks of personal data, and “not for children” sites. Information from WOT is used today by companies such as Facebook, Mail.ru, Fotostrana, GlobalSign, DuckDuckGo and others.
