You can synchronize the WOT add-on for multiple browsers on multiple computers.

Example configurations

  • You have Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome on the same computer.
  • You use Firefox at home and Internet Explorer at work.
  • You have multiple computers on a LAN at home each using a different browser.

How to Synchronize

1) Login to your account
2) Go to your profile page
3) Click on the "Synchronize" menu tab
Note: If the tab is not available, your account has already synchronized for that computer and browser. You will need to check your account profile for the Synchronize link for each browser on each computer.

Advantages of synchronizing

  • WOT tallies your ratings and comments from all browser configurations which add to your account's Activity score.
  • WOT will override Warnings on all browsers / computers for sites that you have rated high though they may have an overall poor reputation

Automatic Login to WOT

1) Go to your profile page, scroll down and click Edit profile.
2) Look for the Privacy Settings box
3) Check the option: "Allow the add-on to log me in automatically"
Note: If there is no check mark, click on it to "set" it.
4) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Submit to save changes.

Removing Synchronization

Mozilla Firefox

1) Open about:config
2) Reset values options of "weboftrust.witness_id" and "weboftrust.witness_key"
