Free scam protection for Chrome, Edge & Brave

Stop online scams before they reach you.

Phishing logins, fake shops, malicious ads and malware sites all rely on one thing: you clicking before you can tell. SafeHop checks every link as you browse and stops dangerous pages before they load.

No account. No ads. No tracking.

Scams SafeHop stops

Scammers change their websites every day. SafeHop doesn't just rely on lists of known bad sites; it looks at how a link behaves and what the destination looks like, so brand-new scams get caught too.

Phishing logins

Fake bank, PayPal, Microsoft and delivery-company pages that steal passwords.

Brand names on the wrong website, lookalike spellings like micros0ft, and live phishing lists.

Fake online shops

Too-good-to-be-true "outlet" and "clearance" stores that take your money and send nothing.

Copied brand names, domains registered days ago, throwaway endings like .shop and .top.

Malicious and cloaked ads

Ads that show a trusted website but secretly send you somewhere else.

Follows every redirect and reads the real destination hidden inside the ad link.

Malware sites

Pages that push infected downloads or fake updates.

Checked against URLhaus, a live list of sites spreading malware, refreshed every 30 minutes.

Crypto and investment scams

Fake exchanges and wallet pages that drain accounts.

Fake Coinbase, Binance and MetaMask sites, new domains and community reports.

Fake prizes and alerts

"You've won", "claim your refund" and "account suspended" pages.

Scam wording in the address, suspended or brand-new domains, and reports from other users.

How SafeHop decides

Follows every redirect

Records each stop a link makes, including ones that flash by too fast to see, and reads destinations hidden inside links.

Spots misused trusted sites

Notices when a well-known site is being used as a springboard to somewhere unrelated.

Catches fake brands

Flags paypal-account-verify-center.xyz, nike-clearance-outlet.shop and similar tricks.

Checks live scam lists

About 400,000 known malware and phishing sites from URLhaus, OpenPhish and Phishing.Database, updated through the day.

Knows a domain's age

Warns when a site was registered days ago or has been suspended by its registrar.

Learns from users

Report a scam in one click. Once confirmed, every SafeHop user is protected within the hour.

Clear answers, not scary jargon

Looks safe

Nothing happens. Browse as usual.

Suspicious

A small banner lists the warning signs so you can decide.

Dangerous

The page is stopped, and SafeHop explains why in plain words.

Private by design

Most checks run entirely inside your browser.
For unfamiliar sites, only the site name (like example.shop) is checked with our server, never the full address, what you type, or page content.
Big well-known sites and private network names are never sent.
Checked site names are not stored or logged. No accounts, no ads, no selling data.
You can switch cloud checks off in the popup at any time.
