Version 1.6.0
Released Jul 7, 2026 - 86.58 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterNew settings page: pause protection, manage trusted sites, disable or clear
the local history, restore the default list. "I trust" now adds to trusted
sites. Better warning: readable form for international look-alikes plus the
actual address, copy button, sample warning from the welcome page. Badge
counter on the icon and a list filter. We also ran the world's 10,000 most
visited sites through the engine: 95 real sites will no longer be flagged
by mistake. Still fully local: no network, no data collection.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only

ChatGPT, DocuSign, UPS...), more monitored hosting platforms (Notion,
SharePoint tenants, Azure blobs) and new abuse-prone TLDs.

Version 1.4.1
Released Jul 7, 2026 - 77.8 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterFixes and new detections:
• Now catches accented-letter look-alikes (pàypal.com, gøogle.com) and hyphenated brand disguises on foreign endings (pay-pal.de).
• "Continue anyway" is now truly temporary: the pass expires after 15 minutes instead of lasting the whole browser session.
• Built-in sites you remove from your protected list no longer come back after an update.
• Fixed a rare case where the very first page opened after a period of inactivity was not checked.
• Minor polish: stricter validation when adding a domain, confirmation messages no longer disappear early.

Version 1.4.0
Released Jun 12, 2026 - 75.71 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later• Stronger detection: brand names disguised with look-alike characters are now also caught when combined with phishing words (paypa1-login.com), and on free hosting platforms (secure-paypal.vercel.app).
• New: addresses that mix letters from different alphabets (e.g. Latin + Cyrillic) are flagged even for sites not on the list.

• New welcome page on install: add your own bank and services right away.
• The popup now shows the latest blocked threats, with reason and date. Everything stays local — no data ever leaves your browser.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
Version 1.2.0
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 41.84 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later• The warning page now highlights exactly which letters make the address deceptive, shows the extension version, and includes a "report a false alarm" link that pre-fills an email — nothing is ever sent automatically.
• Much smarter detection of scam wording: ~140 phishing words in English and Italian (refund, tracking, premium, gift card, rimborso, spedizione, conto...) combined with brand names, plus brand detection on abuse-prone domain endings (fortnite-skins.tk).
• PosteItaliane.it added to the protected list (173 domains) and fewer false alarms on real brand products like AppleCare, Apple TV, Microsoft Rewards and Zoho Mail.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
