RE: Steemed Phish v0.0.14 is out. A Chrome extension to protect yourself from Steemit-like phishing scam websites
Thank you for the contribution. It has been approved.
I also have created a Steemit Phishing Link Cheker which does not have whitelisted or blacklisted website because its hard to update everytime any new fraud websites comes. What I have done is everytime you click on link in Steemit it says that you will be redirected to external website, do not use Steemit Password there.
You can contact us on Discord.

I checked your extension, I like the MEMO scanning feature.
My extension does the similar thing to yours (marking external links) but I thought whitelisting could be more effective but yes more difficult to maintain. But the idea is to try to also protect users that are on Busy.org or another official site or even if they do a google search and land on the scam site. At least if the extension recognizes it it will warn the user. Won't be perfect but one less victim is still worth it.
