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.

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.

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by quochuy from the Minnow Support Project. It's a witness project run by aggroed, ausbitbank, teamsteem, theprophet0, someguy123, neoxian, followbtcnews, and netuoso. The goal is to help Steemit grow by supporting Minnows.

It's a completely public and open space to all members of the Steemit community who voluntarily choose to be there.
If you would like to delegate to the Minnow Support Project you can do so by clicking on the following links: 50SP, 100SP, 250SP, 500SP, 1000SP, 5000SP.
Be sure to leave at least 50SP undelegated on your account.
Instead of creating a blacklist, create a whitelist is easier 😃
The extension uses both whitelist and blacklist and both have their own pros and cons.
I can only validate a whitelisted website and if you accidentally go to a scam website I cannot determine if it is a non steemit related site or a scam site and cannot flag it.
So here is the current logic:
Neither blacklist or whitelist is enough on its own. Even combined together there are still cases I cannot handle. So a combo is always a bit better.
Nice idea. I had tried to make chrome extension before, but using DOM manipulation method
document.querySelector()but it didnt work well with Single App Application like React. Didn't spend much time on it, might read thru your source code later.Yea... I had to investigate on the dynamic content and use the MutationObserver to detect when a content has been dynamically injected into the page
If you find any ideas or optimization, let me know or make a PR
alright sure
