What’s new in version 3.2.1?
TrafficLight is taking the security-while-browsing concept where it belongs: in the browser. This extension will add a strong layer of security over your browsing experience without inducing speed penalties or system resource consumption. Part of the processing is done in the cloud with some intelligent small engines that make various checks on pages you're visiting enabling you to have top notch antiphishing and antimalware protection.
Features:
Real Time: TrafficLight scans the pages you visit for malware and phishing attempts each and every time you access them to avoid the threat of legitimate but recently compromised websites.
Precise: TrafficLight won't block an entire website if just some pages within are malicious. Only the potentially harmful elements are blocked, leaving you free to view the rest of the site if you so choose.
Unintrusive: TrafficLight does not add a toolbar to your already-cluttered browser interface. Its interface remains invisible until your input is needed or it's called up with a simple mouse gesture.
Search Results: TrafficLight flags malware and fraudulent websites in search results.

Reviews of trafficlight:
Not useful
Fast support, terrible extension. Doesn't work to prevent malware from malicious sites. I tested this extension with eicar malware test site. The extension showed that the site was malicious a few seconds later. Little did I know you need to have the Bitwarden client installed on your PC (more on this later). Extension doesn't prevent infection without the client installed. Taken at face value, this extension is supposed to block the attack BEFORE it gets into my system. In other words, I had already been "infected" even though Trafficlight says it was blocked, but in reality it wasn’t. This was tested on several W10 &W11 systems, running on virtual machines and actual consumer desktops (not Enterprise). Bitwarden Traffic extenstion description fails to mention that you need to have Bitdefender client installed. Only after you reach out to support do they say this works alongside the Bitdefender client (installed on your PC); hence, no protection without the client. Extension has a list of sites (which is largely based on Google's list) and then flags or blocks them. You can't block domains, only individual websites. For instance domain *.xyz is a malicious domain but Trafficlight does not give the user the option to block it. It's a fairly new domain and Bitdefender Trafficlight fails to detect and block this domain. Extension hasn't been updated since August. For malware preventions, this is unacceptable. In summary, beware of sophist's reviews especially reviews written like ads. This extension is like a vehicle laser radar detectors . Only AFTER you are hit is there a reaction, sometimes not at all. Not recommended. Yet foolish and gullible people think it works otherwise. Uninstalled.
I've used BitDefender products for several years & I've had no problems; this product really outdoes itself! The browser extension takes up no room, but packs a punch! Great product!
