🛡️ QuickPhish – Real-Time Phishing Link Warnings

QuickPhish is a privacy-first browser extension for Chrome and Edge that detects phishing links in real time — anywhere on the web. Whether you're browsing Gmail, social media, online forums, or unknown websites, QuickPhish intercepts suspicious links and warns you before you get phished.

🚨 Why QuickPhish?

Phishing isn’t limited to email anymore — attackers use social media, online ads, chat apps, and even blogs to trick users into clicking malicious links. QuickPhish protects users by scanning links at click time, using the Google Safe Browsing API, and displaying an alert before redirection occurs.
