About
PhishGuard is a lightweight browser extension that detects unsafe links, scam messages, and risky content while you browse. It adds small warning popups beside suspicious links, shows a full warning page for dangerous sites, and highlights scam-like messages in web chats and emails. A clean dashboard displays your browsing safety stats, and everything runs locally in the browser with no data sent to any server.
