Today we're launching the
OrangeFren Plugin!
It's an extension for Chromium-based browsers that exists to
safe-guard users from accessing phishing scams aimed against the users of exchanges listed on
OrangeFren.comIt downloads a list of known phishing domains from
OrangeFren.com once an hour, as well as self-generates possible phishing domains and compares the websites you access against them. The extension is open-source and it does not save or transmit any of your activity.
You can get it here:

Hey! paid2 just told me about this plugin. I think it's one step to something much bigger, as (at least on the firefox add-on store) there are no lightweight, open source phishing protectors.
I would like to ask, do you think it is possible to:
- open source the list of sites that the add-on considers as official?
- opening up the list to be more than just from orangefren?
Maybe, forking for the above wider purpose (to not disrupt the original purpose)?
Great work and I will be downloading the plugin once it is on the FF store. It would be great to see this without reliance on any domain, and on a publicly maintained list instead. This could be a killer add-on for the world if it worked this way.
