Mitsukeru coded Chrome LinkSentinel Update - The What's New After 1.4.2 (which all investors got access to) We made the extension stronger against scams, safer for crypto users, faster, and easier to use. # Better Protection from Scams & Phishing - Spots fake login pages trying to steal passwords or crypto seed phrases - Checks website icons (favicons) to catch copycat scam sites pretending to be real banks or crypto services - Blocks tricky redirects that hide bad links behind trusted names - Stops fake domain names that look almost identical to real ones (homograph attacks) # Extra Safety for Crypto & Wallets - Warns you before signing dangerous crypto transactions (catches common wallet drainers) - Scans QR codes on pages and blocks ones that lead to scam sites - Stops you from accidentally pasting your seed phrase/recovery words into the wrong place # Smarter Warnings - If we already flagged a link in your Discord or Telegram messages, the warning page now tells you exactly where we saw it before - Carefully checks ads on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo so you don't click malicious ones # Under-the-Hood Improvements - Faster blocking using built-in browser tools (more private too) - Better protection against certain hacking tricks inside the extension # Speed Boosts - Smarter caching so checks happen quicker - Fewer unnecessary requests to the browser - Groups link checks together instead of one-by-one # Easier to Understand & More Private - Warnings now show clear risk levels: Critical, High, Medium, Low - Block page explains exactly why something was stopped (e.g. "domain is only 5 days old" or "no proper email setup") - You control how long we keep history (default: 30 days, auto-deletes old stuff) - Buttons to wipe history or reset everything This update makes LinkSentinel catch more real-world scams (especially crypto ones), feel snappier, and explain threats in plain English.
