Does WOT have different protection settings?
Yes, WOT has three different preset protection settings that you can choose from when you first download the add-on. Basic – This is the recommended setting for just about everyone. You will see rating icons for all the search engines and other sites WOT supports. When you hover your mouse over a WOT rating “donut” a small pop-up will appear that shows you a little more detail about each rating component – Trustworthiness, Privacy, Vendor reliability and Child safety. If a site is rated poorly, you will get a warning, but you have the option to bypass it or see the WOT scorecard which explains more about the site’s rating. Light – This setting is for experienced users that want minimal protection. The only rating “donuts” that show when doing a search are for dangerous sites. If you navigate to a poorly rated site, a warning bar will show at the top of your browser instead of the larger warning screen. The small pop-up is disabled. Maximum Safety – This setting is the same as the Basic
