Webroot site reputation notices


When surfing for web site, Webroot shows reputation of site such as trustworthy, low risk, high risk etc. on Firefox and Internet Explorer.  Why doesn't Chrome have this?  I rely on this info and would like to see it on Chrome also as I'm told Chrome has better security.

Hello,
 
Just to let you know the Webroot Reputation Toolbar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-bcexplorer/ is not needed or supported anymore so you can remove it from the Extension list and make sure you uninstall the correct one! See the last update to the toolbar: Last Updated: October 10, 2012
 
The Web Filter is now fully built in to WSA so no need of the Toolbar.
 
Thanks,
 
Daniel 😉

Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
 
Just go here with your Chrome Browser and install the Extension! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webroot-filtering-extensi/kjeghcllfecehndceplomkocgfbklffd
 
Chrome is now forcing WSA users to get the Web Filter Extension from the Chrome Store so it's there rules and Webroot is complying with it.
 
Thanks,

Tried it and got notice that it was disabled on Chrome, so I enabled it and it worked!  Thanks!
