Web Of Trust not showing warning screen when going to "very poor" websites

[Guest]

Hello,

I have just installed Comodo Dragon. A friend of mine has CD with the Web of Trust (WOT) extension and he showed me how if one clicks on a website that has the red circle ("very poor" rating), one gets a black page that warns to stop or to proceed at one's own risk.

I installed WOT and gave it a test run. I found a wesbite with a "very poor" rating and proceeded to click on it. Unfortunately I did not get the warning message, as it loaded the page anyway (it still shows the red circle in the navigation bar).

I have fiddled with the settings, uninstalled and re-installed WOT, all to no avail. (I am able to go to https://api.mywot.com/testtls.html and do get the message.)

Can anyone help me get WOT to work properly? Thanks!

The solution, if one encounters such a problem, is to go to https://www.mywot.com/en/settings/en-US/chrome/20120409/welcome#welcome and then select "Basic" option, then click "Finish".

Basically one has to enable WOT to show search results ratings in a pop-up window.

Is this a problem with Chromium? I remember something about limited APIs.

I know Firefox and Internet Explorer, both display a "Block Page" for how you have configured WOT.
