mrkool123 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 What do you think about the wot firefox add on, is it good and safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted August 15, 2011 Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2011 At times, it helps. Blocks bad website. Some people have made big accusations against them (similar with Siteadvisor). Overall, considering all the aspects, it's OK, good to have.

HX1 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I always felt it slowed down the browser.. when I tested and used it.. Blocked MySpace.com.. so it can't be all bad.. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avmad Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I use it but ignore half the results. Not noticed any slowdown, maybe minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grouchysmurf Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Thank you for this. I had not heard of this add on, so I am going to look.The only things I use now as precautions are adblock and noscript.---------------------------------Back again. Ok, found and installed the Web of Trust ring, settings set to basic, and did not add the search engine.Gave it a test drive, and I am keeping in. Seems to work well, and has not slowed me down.Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Especially for software website, there are much fake-comments. You`ll have knack after a specific time on how to interpret some of the reputations on WOT. Not all are justified(good or bad) but that is the only negative point on that, so it`s very helpful in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudboy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think it's safe to use, but I don't use it for personal reasons. Namely a substantial group of people dedicated to going around and lowering the ratings on perfectly legit sites just because they don't like them.

toyo Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I personally used it for a while on Opera, but I got annoyed at some "detections" and comments on their site. So I uninstalled it after a week or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rien91 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I believe it's a good start, but it ain't perfect ;-). Just use your common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
