Apps & Extensions
Protect yourself and your organization from cybercrime by using Netcraft’s family of apps and extensions for your browser, phone, and email client
Browser Protection
Netcraft’s free browser extension provides real-time enhanced protection from malicious sites defending you from phishing, fake shops, and malicious scripts such as JavaScript skimmers and cryptocurrency miners.
The browser extension works with all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera.
Mobile Protection
The ubiquity of smartphones means phishing attacks are commonly distributed by email and SMS message. Netcraft’s research shows that two-thirds of visits to phishing sites occur on mobile devices.
Some mobile browsers block a fraction of the sites that desktop browsers protect you against. By using Netcraft’s app, the browsers on your mobile devices can benefit from the same level of security. It provides rapid protection against phishing threats, with new attacks blocked rapidly after they’re detected by us.
You can also use the Netcraft app to report suspicious sites in just a few clicks and stay updated about the status of your report.
Email Protection
Netcraft’s free email extension allows you to submit suspicious emails to the Netcraft service at the click of a button. All emails are automatically analyzed, and validated phishing sites will be blocked in Netcraft’s malicious site feeds, protecting millions of other users from online harms.
The extension runs on Outlook desktop, Outlook Web App, and on Gmail.
