The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.
Scorecard colors
To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall trustworthiness (safety) of a website. The color range is:
Reputation | Color and symbol | Description |
---|---|---|
Excellent | = dark green | This site has a good reputation and the community considers it a safe and pleasant experience. |
Good | = light green | |
Unsatisfactory | = yellow | Cautionary advisory, unsatisfactory or mixed ratings. |
Poor | = orange | This site has a poor reputation and the add-on will bring up the warning screen, or blocking screen, when settings are at their default values. If you choose to proceed, do so with a high amount of care and concern; you have been warned. |
Very poor | = red | |
Unrated | = grey | There are not enough ratings to compute a reputation for this website, as referenced by the example scorecard provided |
