A few weeks ago I linked to the Internet Explorer version of the Netcraft Toolbar for folks to try out. It seems like a lot of folks really liked it, but of course there were a few people wanting to know why there was no Firefox version of it. That is a reasonable question, as Firefox is being used by more and more people these days. Well for you Firefox users, I have good news.

Netcraft has released a Firefox version of the Netcraft Toolbar for you to download.

The toolbar runs on any operating system supported by Firefox and displays the hosting location, country, longevity, popularity, and an abstracted risk rating for each site visited.

Additionally, the toolbar blocks access to phishing sites reported by other members of the Netcraft Toolbar community and validated by Netcraft, mobilizing the community into a giant neighborhood watch scheme which empowers the most alert and experienced members to protect the vulnerable against fraud and phishing attacks. Well over 7,000 phishing sites have been detected and blocked by people using the Netcraft Toolbar since the system started at the turn of the year.

You can get the download over at the Netcraft Toolbar Web site. Try it out and let me know what you think of it!
