About Gone Phishin'
Gone Phishin' watches the links in your Gmail and Outlook inbox and warns
you before you click on a phishing or malware page.
It's free, it doesn't read your email, and it was designed for the people in
your life who are most often targeted — your parents, your grandparents,
and anyone else who finds the modern web a little hostile.
WHAT IT DOES
• Marks dangerous links in your inbox with a small icon, so you can see at
a glance which messages are sketchy.
• Stops you when you click a known phishing or malware page and asks you
to confirm — with a clear, plain-English warning, not a wall of red text.
• Works on Gmail and Outlook (web). No setup, no accounts, no tracking
required to use it.
HOW IT WORKS
When you open Gmail or Outlook, the extension reads the URLs of the links
already shown on the page (the same ones your browser shows in the
link-preview tooltip when you hover over them). Each unfamiliar URL is
checked against Google's Safe Browsing list, which is the same threat
database that powers Chrome's red "Deceptive site ahead" page. Verdicts are
cached locally in your browser so we don't keep asking about the same link.
We do NOT read your emails, attachments, subject lines, senders, or
recipients. We never see the contents of your inbox. The only thing the
extension looks at is the clickable URLs that the webmail page already
renders for you.
FOR FAMILIES
If you're setting this up for a parent, grandparent, or anyone else who
isn't a power-user, sign in to gonephishin.tech, create a "family circle"
with their name on it, and read them a 6-digit pairing code over the phone
(no email links to click — that would be ironic). Once they enter the code,
the extension on their browser is paired to your dashboard, where you can
see the threats it's blocked for them. You can revoke the pairing at any
time from Settings.
You can also use Gone Phishin' just for yourself — sign in for yourself
from the extension popup, or skip sign-in entirely. Either way works.
PRIVACY
