LifeHacker.com - https://lifehacker.com/web-of-trust-sells-your-browsing-history-uninstall-it-1788667989 - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: SandpaperWasteland, 6 éveWoT's "Active Protection" actively tracks and links your IP address to what you type on search engines, your web history, then "distributes" (or sells as some websites have warned) this information directly to others.
Taken directly from their Privacy Policy: "When you install and use the WOT app or WOT extension, we also collect from you automatically... Internet Protocol Address...Search engine results page (keyword, order/index of results, link of result, title, description, ads); web pages visited and time stamp of the visit;"
This obvious breach of privacy mingled with the fact that they were caught red-handed in selling it is UNACCEPTABLE. - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: User, 6 éveSays it protects you from spying, does spy you and sell your data:

We need something that gives expert warnings based on what experts detect, not community as in every person who thinks they know something when in reality they know less than nothing.
Yeah, This addon is bad for multiple reasons. I used it long ago, but one day I decided it was not worth using beyond even the deception above that they did.
PS, duckduckgo removed wot from their engine so yeah... its no lie. - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 14012454, 6 éveThis site almost completely relies on community opinion, and that opinion's honesty, for its results. There is little fact checking done here since anyone can go to their site, enter a web address and rate it without posting a review or logging in. I would be very careful to trust this service's info without manually fact checking it yourself. I know that doing so defeats the purpose for this service, but that's how untrustworthy I think this service is. Anyone (using this service) can give a site a bad rating without it being crosschecked by someone before it's posted. Even if the site deserved the rating or not. A system like this is easily manipulable, and should be taken with the understanding that there is no guarantee for accuracy.

közzétéve: 6 éveWOT does in fact rely on our community for ratings and reviews, but that is our strength. It's not accurate to say that "anyone" can influence a site's ratings. We use a reliability algorithm that only allows trustworthy users to influence a site's ratings, which greatly increases the quality of our ratings. The system is actually built to prevent manipulation like you're describing. Thanks for your review! - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: HedgehogInTheCPP, 6 éveAdditional security, personal blacklist, but too slow and resource consuming.
Дополнительная безопасность, личный чёрный список, но слишком медленная работа и большое потребление ресурсов. - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 12343667, 6 éve

- Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 13772382, 6 éveAfter leaving a candid but respectful and cautious review on an alternative health website, my account was blocked.
This health website was safe and offered an alternative treatment that helped me. Nothing in my post was abusive and I included a disclaimer at the end of the review in case anyone mistakenly thought I stepped in something. Bang. Account blocked after 5+ years of use.
Strangely, three negative reviews seething with abusive, foul and specious language were posted against this same health website and its owner. Their accounts were not blocked.
Could these people be in alliance with pharmaceutical companies? Hmmmm..... That was a question and not a direct attack on WOT, in case their staff are feeling a tad paranoid.
Not recommended. I feel WOT are not trustworthy, since they seem to monitor their users' activity in real time and they seem to censor ideas that may or may not be perceived as threatening to certain corporations.
I recommend trusting the reviews found on WOT only if you accept conventional propaganda. - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 12550056, 6 éveон неработает у меня. оценки не ставит можно только на сайцте поставить но зачем тогда аддон нужен если можно на сайте потавить? и оценки там не верные.

- Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: Firefox felhasználó 13725746, 6 éveThe reviews and ratings of this website cannot be trusted since the service can be spammed and individual reviews are not vetted. What's more you're not protected against new websites that might be fraudulent.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/349328/web-of-trust-browser-extension-cannot-be-trusted - Csillagos értékelés: 1 / 5készítette: KLJY, 6 éveMostly useful. But its very easy to game this add-on to make misleading reputation. For example an owner of a site filled with virus could easily make multiple accounts of WOT and gives positive reviews about his site. Truly dangerous.
