About Catch and Release

Stop Phishing Scams Before They Bite Scammers are everywhere online, trying to steal our credit cards and personal info. Catch and Release is your digital tackle box. It checks every site you visit and warns you about the sketchy ones. How it works: When you land on a site, our scanner runs a quick security check. If something looks fishy, we "Catch" it by highlighting it in red or yellow. If you know a site is safe, you can "Release" it by marking it as trusted. Key Features: - Brand Impersonation Detection: We know what the real Amazon and Nike look like. If a site's pretending to be a big brand, we'll alert you right away. - Typosquatting Protection: Protects you from "Amazom.com" or "G0ogle.com" scams. - Real-time Scam Language Detection: Our engine spots high-pressure tactics, those fake "95% off" deals, and sketchy payment requests (like Zelle or crypto-only). - Google Safe Browsing Integration: Uses Google's huge database of dangerous sites. - Non-Intrusive Design: Just a slim, color-coded bar at the top of your screen. Stays out of your way until you need it.
