About Nudge
Nudge is a free, privacy-first web safety extension designed to protect users from online scams and deceptive websites. It runs instantly in the background as you browse from page to page, calculating and displaying a real-time website trust score.
Key Features
- Real-Time Trust Scores: Instantly evaluates domains to analyze if a platform is safe, suspicious, or a known digital hazard.
- Proactive Fraud Interception: Engineered to catch lookalike e-commerce storefronts, fake brand checkout pages, and phishing links before you input sensitive financial information.
- Absolute Privacy: Built with a strict zero-data-retention policy. It requires no personal account creation, tracks zero browsing history, and never logs or sells your consumer metrics.
Technology Stack
The extension is built natively on the modern Google Chrome Manifest V3 framework using pure JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3 for zero latency and strict security compliance. The backend infrastructure utilizes optimized Node.js API routing layers and lightweight structured key-value configurations to fetch domain verification parameters instantly without adding network overhead.
