BitDefender TrafficLight (BETA): Social Web Security, Re-invented

0.1.20 is available for Firefox, but not through auto-update. I found it with Google. The anti-fraud option is active in this version as well.

 

Thanks, getting manual update.

 

You're welcome. Now someone just needs to tell us what the Anti-Fraud option does

 

Yeap.

One thing: I'm thinking of installing the full version. Can anyone tell me if it still slows down your browsing?

Thanks.

 

for me it does big time. it does not slow down my browsing per say but it stops the pages from loading completely

see here

 

Too bad. That puts me off.
Maybe I'll try it anyway and see how it goes.

 

yes i still recommend that you try it as the page loading issue might be unique to my setup

 

Can anyone provide a direct download link for Google Chrome extension?

I seem to be running a buggy Chromium version not allowing me to download any Chrome extension. lol

I need to redownload a new build, but just in case I don't find one without this possible bug... lol


Thanks!

 

I'm not liking the new search result analyzer icons. They're too dark, and somewhat unclear.

 

Same here (firefox add-on).
It started with 0.1.20
I don't know if it is a bug or by design. I went back to 0.1.19

 

Installed TL after a long gap. Installed the extension this time. In FF, pages blocked the the following order,
KIS>wot>TL
But in chrome
KIS>wot
I was not able to see TL in action in chrome. Anyone finding the same?

Update: Disabled WOT and KIS, TL is not alerting there. A bug...!!!

 

For me many times it dont alert me in mozilla. I must refresh the page to block it.(for example i must refresh the page to triger the block page in a malicius site)
And i use avast and wot.

 

Way too dark! I had some difficulty to see the green check mark, and had to force my vision.

I hope they bring back the old icon colors. They were fine, IMHO.

 

A new version for Chrome came out today, but search results take way too long to appear. I actually only got two results displayed. Every other result simply had a looping circle/graphic.

I'm running Chromium build 93734. Previous version worked/works fine.

Does anyone else experience the same?

 

Mozilla plugin 1.20 dont work with firefox 6.0 (incompatible)

 

BitDefender reported that they released an updated TrafficLight Beta today, but it may be some time before it is available for download from Mozilla.

Hmm just when I was going to try this out too. But errors and slow pages loading equals wait to me.

 

The directions they give for manually editing the extension only involve changing the version number so it will be seen as compatible. It's not clear if the updated beta they released to Mozilla is anything more than that.

 

Edit: A new version came out today, and it works fine now. The rating icon have also changed. It resembles the BD 2012 status icon, I believe. I like it! It's now clear when something is given a green rating, for example.

 

I installed the new TrafficLight update (0.1.20) this morning. I aborted the installation of Firefox 6 when the Firefox 6 installer said that both TrafficLight and AVG Safe Search are not compatible.

 

If you'd like to install Firefox 6, you could ditch AVG Safe Search meanwhile. From my tests, AVG Safe Search isn't very effective flagging malicious domains in search results. Specially newly created malicious domains.

BitDefender TrafficLight is by far more effective.

You'd still have AVG LinkScanner exploit protection, which is LinkScanner's muscle.

That said, you'd have Google SafeBrowsing protection from Firefox, plus BitDefender TrafficLight and AVG LinkScanner exploit protection.

Obviously, you're the one who has to decide whether or not AVG Safe Search is something to keep at all cost. I just thought of sharing my little experiences with the "fellow".

 

New mozzila plugin update.(works with mozilla 6):

I clicked on the "Accept and Install" and nothing happened.

 

Right click on "accept and install", and choose open link in a new tab.
It will work, i test it.

 

I just installed it and works fine.
I like the new icons in the Search Results; and now if you click one a page from BitDefender will open.
There's still work to be done but it's going in the right direction. I hope they don't spoil it.
