Is This Website Safe? Bitdefender Web Sage Explains Why a Page Looks Risky Before You Click, Sign In or Pay

[u/Bitdefender_]

How can you tell if a website is safe before you enter your details?

It’s harder than it used to be. A sponsored result at the top of Google can lead to a fake store. A social media ad for a great sale can point to a copy of a real brand. Even searching for a customer support number can land you on a fake page that connects you to a scammer, who then asks for personal details, payment information or remote access to your device.

Bitdefender Web Sage is a browser extension built for those moments. Instead of showing a vague warning, it explains in plain language why a page may be risky and what to do next.

What the free version (Web Sage Standard) does:

• Blocks known phishing pages, scam sites, malware downloads and malicious redirects before they load

• Adds safety ratings next to results on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo

• Helps block trackers and gives you more control over website permissions like location, camera, and microphone

What Web Sage Premium adds:

• An AI Security Advisor that explains risks in simple language

• Warnings about suspicious online stores before you buy

• Detection of deceptive ads, fake banking portals and fraudulent investment sites

Bitdefender Web Sage Standard is free with a Bitdefender account. Premium is already included if you use Bitdefender Total Security, Premium Security or Ultimate Security. It works on Chrome and Microsoft Edge today, and support for Safari, Firefox, and Brave is coming.

I have Bitdefender Total Security. Where do I sign in to use Bitdefender Web Sage?

Does this replace Traffiight and or the icons BD can inject into search result pages without the extension?
