How does it work?

The plugin will indicate different colors depending on the website you're visiting.

  • 🟢 Green: Indicates that the domain is known and likely safe. For example, if you visit myetherwallet.com, the Nighthawk Status Icon in your toolbar will glow green.
  • ⚪️ Grey: The site hasn't been categorized. It's not necessarily unsafe, but proceed with caution!
  • 🔴 Red: The site is most likely dangerous. If you visit a malicious website, the plugin will notify you that you are on an unsafe site and you'll be sent back to safety. You're also able to bypass the warning if you need!
