About Web Guardian: Phishing & Malware Protection

Browse with a little more peace of mind. Web Guardian blocks known phishing, malware, and other malicious websites before they load, then helps you see risky mail and data breaches on the inbox you already use. Protection starts on and stays quiet, so you can keep reading the page you meant to open. โœฆ Features: ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Phishing & Malware Protection โ€“ Blocks known phishing, malware, and other badware domains before they open in this browser. ๐Ÿ”— Cleaner Links โ€“ Strips common tracking parameters from links you open, so more of the address you follow is the page itself. ๐Ÿšซ Clear Blocking Page โ€“ When a site is flagged, Web Guardian shows the blocked host, a short reason, and a clear way back. Max is there too, so the warning is hard to miss. ๐Ÿ”„ Updated Threat Lists โ€“ Protection uses lists that ship with the extension and are refreshed over time, so a page does not have to wait on a live lookup. โšก On From the First Visit โ€“ Protection is active right after install. No setup maze, and no extra switch to flip before you are covered. ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Pause When You Need To โ€“ Turn protection off or back on from the toolbar. While it is on, Web Protection counts toward your security setup. ๐Ÿ“ฌ Mail Guardian โ€“ Sign in with Google to see phishing emails, data breaches linked to that address, and a simple split of marketing mail and receipts. ๐Ÿ“Š Protection Activity โ€“ See websites visited, websites blocked, and how many days this browser has been protected. Open either list when you want the detail. ๐Ÿ… Security Setup โ€“ A 100-point setup for web protection, Mail Guardian, Phone Guardian, and a store review, so the next useful step is obvious. ๐Ÿถ Meet Max โ€“ A small guardian on the welcome screen, the block page, and in settings. Medals unlock as you stay protected, including one for Mail Guardian. ๐Ÿ“ฑ Phone Guardian Family โ€“ Sign in with the same Google account to see this browser beside Phone Guardian on your phone. You can also turn on a warning before a shortened link opens, for the moments when the real destination is hidden. Whether you are opening an unfamiliar link or checking a page you visit every day, Web Guardian adds a clear layer against known threats without getting in the way. Web Guardian is part of the Phone Guardian family, built to make everyday browsing clearer and safer.
