Review Summary
The Netcraft Extension is highly praised for its powerful anti-phishing capabilities and superior protection compared to other well-known security tools. Users appreciate its additional website information features and strong crypto phishing defenses. However, some report problems with website compatibility, false positives, and over-blocking affecting usability. Frequent updates are requested to maintain effective protection, and some privacy concerns were noted due to data collection practices. Overall, it offers excellent security benefits but could improve in usability and update frequency.
