You don't need an addon for https://safebrowsing.google.com


>Google’s Ads Security team uses Safe Browsing to make sure that Google ads do not promote dangerous pages.

This is already wrong in my experience. I had a coworker panicking two weeks ago because he googled youtube and clicked the first link. Which turned out to be a fake ransomware page ad designed to get you to call a scam call center.

There is no such thing as a safe ad anymore because no one is policing them appropriately. Especially if something like this can happen when searching a service google themselves owns.

That's one of the most Kafkaesque sentences i have read in a while.
