A full-page warning appears before the page loads.
What it catches.
Lookalike domains
An address spelled to mimic a real site.
Fake characters
A character that imitates a real letter.
Brand on the wrong site
A known name on an address that is not that brand.
Brand-new domains
A domain that was just registered.
Risky web endings
Address endings that show up often on scam sites.
Free hosting
Pages placed on free hosting.
A live phishing list
Known phishing addresses, checked against a live list.
Privacy.
Most checks run on your device.
For suspicious sites, the domain name is sent to rdap.org to check how old it is. Once a day, LureLens also sends two anonymous numbers: how many pages it blocked and how many warnings it showed. It never sends which sites you visit or anything that identifies you, and you can turn sharing off in the extension's settings.
