    I hope I'm not posting in the wrong forum.

    As most of you likely know, in November last year Web Of Trust was removed from Firefox & Chrome add-ons.

    A portion of an article ( http://www.digitaltr...s-wot-add-on/ ) from Digital Trends, dated January 26/17, states the following:

    Mozilla’s Firefox browser is apparently disabling the WOT add-on and marking it as suspicious based on concerns over the protection of user data. Apparently, WOT was previously identified as a problem add-on and removed from the list of available add-ons, and now those users who still have WOT installed in Firefox are no longer able to use it

    I'm a little confused now because I discovered WOT is back again in the Google Chrome Web Store (updated March 27/17).

    I have 3 questions:

    1) In your opinion, is WOT good to use or should it be avoided?

    2) Has anyone used "Bitdefender Traffic Light" which will also (like WOT) display an icon on links within Facebook?

    3) Are there any other add-ons (that you would recommend) that I can use in Chrome that would display an icon on links within Facebook?

    Thanks for your time!
