Tap&Trust is an unofficial WOT Android app.
The application works for the native Android browser and Google Chrome. The app works with a service [1] which listens to the live browser history (since version V1.1.0. The old mechanism to catch URLs was replaced due to interferences with native browser: V1.0.9 and older). When a page is visited, the service is notified and retrieves the rating of the domain with the WOT API. If the visited site is considered "unsafe" (depending of the settings) a warning popup will be displayed (left capture), and on the other case, a small bottom message will display the rating for the trustworthiness and child safety (right capture, the messages can be hidden in the settings).
Customize parameters
In the settings page, several parameters can be customized:
- Minimum trustworthiness: The minimum required to consider the site as safe. Custom values are: Excellent, good, unsatisfactory, poor, very poor or disable. The default value is "good".
- Minimum child safety: This parameter works like the trustworthiness. It acts as a parental control.
- Sites with unknown ratings can be blocked (default value: false).
- The safe bottom messages can be disable (default value: false).
- Search engines: Allow to choose a search engine for the safe search. Available search engines are: Google, Yandex, Yahoo, Bing and Baidu.
- Prompt browsers: If enable, a list of browsers will be show to open the result from the safe search.
- Browsers: Allow to choose a browser by default to open results from the safe search. Browsers will be automatically picked-up from the device.
