    I see that BD trafficlight for firefox is very sluggish in development when compared to the chrome version. Chrome's version gets updated every now and then but firefox extension seems abandoned. Do you guys think its still effective as chrome version ?

    It only flagged one website on me. I don't quite understand why BDTL is claimed as more effective in Chrome. It worked better in Foxy when I tried it.

    What ever happened to the "beta" version the one that was like the BD HTTP scanner ad on and not the WOT like version?

    A few days back I tried this and tested with a few urls from phishtank. It didn't block anything. But the chrome extension worked fine. The firefox addon was last updated on May.

    Thanks. Yes, firefox version number is way behind chrome's version.

    On my computer, traffic light adds almost 50,000K of memory to Firefox and if you end up opening a lot of tabs, even more. It's kind of a resource hog.
