SmartShield – AI-Powered Phishing Protection

SmartShield helps protect you from phishing, malware, and fraudulent websites while you browse. The extension analyzes websites in real time and alerts you if a page appears suspicious or potentially unsafe.
Using automated risk analysis and domain security checks, SmartShield helps identify common phishing indicators before you interact with harmful content.

Key Features
Real-Time Website Analysis
