Gentlent SafeSurf

Beta Please notice, that Gentlent SafeSurf is still under development. Install extension.

SafeSurf shows you security indicators in the omnibar for post-EV safer surfing. It was created for our own staff members to have an easy way of checking whether or not a site belongs to us or not. SafeSurf was quickly updated to check for EV certificates and other factors to determine the authenticity of a website and is now available to the public.

What is the meaning of the omnibar indicators?

There are different icons with different meanings to be found in the omnibar:

	Gentlent SafeSurf Logo It's displayed when you access a browser-specific URL like a new-tab page or similar, or if the indication check was not yet completed.
	Verified If a website provides an extended-validated certificate or is specifically trusted by our system and additionally is not marked as a threat, the site's favicon with a verification mark is shown.
	Undetected The "undetected" mark is shown when no other indicator was triggered and means that it's a regular site not yet verified or flagged by our systems. It is also shown when a protocol scheme other than http:// or https:// is used to open a specific file or site.
	Unknown Protocol The unknown mark is shown when the used protocol is not monitored by SafeSurf. Protocol schemes like file:// or ftp:// fall into this category.
	Warning A warning is shown in the URL you try to open is using an insecure scheme like plain HTTP. You should be careful when entering sensitive data and check if a secure version is available.
	Critical Warning This higher level of warning indicated an immediate threat to your privacy and/or security. It's only shown if it was previously flagged by our team, algorithm or Google Safe Browsing. You should be careful about entering this site. It's not recommended by us to continue browsing if this warning is shown.
