Browser Phishing Risk Analyzer is a browser extension designed to evaluate the active page URL for common phishing indicators and present explainable risk feedback to the user.
This project is positioned as a recruiter-ready and business-facing browser safety utility for safer browsing awareness, phishing education, and defensive user support. It checks URL characteristics, suspicious terms, and other lightweight indicators to estimate whether a page deserves additional caution.
The extension includes:
- URL-Based Risk Analysis
- Popup-Based Review Interface
- In-Page Warning Banner For Higher-Risk Results
- Explainable Risk Reasons
This project maps to realistic defensive security workflows used by:
- Security Awareness Teams
- IT Administrators
- Small Business Support Teams
- Browser Safety Tool Builders
- Cybersecurity Students
- Internal Security Education Programs
A company may need to answer questions such as:
- How can users be warned about suspicious links more clearly?
- How can phishing signals be explained instead of only flagged?
- How can a lightweight browser extension support safer browsing behavior?
- How can defensive browser tooling be demonstrated in a portfolio?
This kind of extension could be used as part of security awareness training, employee browsing safety initiatives, or defensive browser utility prototypes.
