Bitdefender TrafficLight for Firefox by Bitdefender

Rated 1 out of 5
by dza, 5 years agoThis is a dead fish by Bitdefender, and it clearly shows how much the company has gone downhill over the years and just selling a false sense of security.
First of all be aware that all your requests will be sent to
trafficlight.bitdefender.com/?url=YOURURL
in GET requests.
Not only is the service highly unreliable and dropping requests, sometimes you just think the site is down because of it.
I also had a lot of false flags. I tried to use the feedback form and I got ahold of the most incompetent support I've ever witnessed.
Clearly these people do not know wtf they are talking about.
They kindly said they wanted to investigate why EqualizerAPO-setup.exe from sourceforge was on their list. 7 emails later, they came back with a generic response saying that this website sells false products (sourceforge? really?) though, the answer was different in one of the first emails talking about malicious software (which is plausible for some software on sourceforge, but the main url was not flagged ONLY equalizerapo).
Nevertheless I took my time to investigate EqualizerAPO a little. Not only is it NOT flagged in their official Bitdefender engine on virustotal.com, its not flagged in any engine. If you look at behaviour in any of these PE analysis suites there's NOTHING that seems out of the ordinary for EqualizerAPO.
1/5, this extension is a waste of time and a false sense of security with utter incompetence in the support. They will never succeed in creating a proper product this way when they don't listen and don't make a proper analysis or flag the right urls.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19650630, 5 months agoOne of few commercial extensions that actually work on Firefox in Linux environment. One star less than five because I would like to exclude certain selected domains from protection due to privacy/confidentiality concerns. Good extension anyways

- Rated 4 out of 5by Briadd-on, 2 years agoSeems to work as intended, I don't think I've had any issues with it, the website flagging function from search results didn't work for me as a Startpage user and doesn't work for me now as an Ecosia user, though. I've been using this since March 2023.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SRF, 2 years agoExcellent! This is how an extension of this kind should work. No annoying and unnecessary notifications. It just tells you when a page is not safe and nothing else. A lot of similar addons should learn from this.

- Rated 3 out of 5by shootergamer234, 2 years agoEs Funktioniert vollständig verlangsamt jedoch das laden von Seiten auch wenn keine links vorhanden sind, wie zum Beispiel wie auf einen eigenen Webserver. Zudem löst es eine warnung aus auf dem Google Übersetzer weshalb ich es nicht weiter benutze
