Web of Trust (WOT)

The Web of Trust (WOT) is a tool that helps users evaluate the safety and reputation of websites before visiting them. It relies on community-based ratings and reviews, where users share their experiences regarding whether a site is trustworthy, contains malware, or engages in scams. WOT provides a trustworthiness score based on this collective input, assisting users in making informed decisions and avoiding potentially harmful sites. It functions as a digital community-driven reputation system, enhancing online safety without relying solely on automated security measures.
