From Against Intuition:
Keep yourself safe from spyware, adware, spam, viruses, browser exploits, unreliable online shops, phishing, and other Internet scams. With the free WOT browser add-on, you can easily see the reliability of companies and websites. WOT will warn you and save your computer before you interact with a harmful site. WOT, Web of Trust, is an online community for reputation rating that lets Internet users share their knowledge of websites, helping you stay in control when surfing the Web. Besides its users, WOT uses hundreds of trusted sources such as phishing site listings to keep you protected against rapidly spreading online threats. As you search with Google, you will see a tiny icon next to the Web link: green to go, yellow to slow down, red to stop. You can easily customize the protection level to your way of surfing the Web. WOT has information on 20 million websites. WOT ratings are shown also on Yahoo, Gmail, Wikipedia, and other sites. No registration is required.

"Great product! Must-have add-on!"
Version: WOT for Firefox 20080811
Pros
Browse with WOT, and you'll be good. You'll never go to unsafe site, because WOT shows you which site is safe (green color) and which isn't (red, orange).
Cons
I can't say nothing bad.
-

"Can be useful."
Version: WOT for Firefox 20080811
Pros
Gives screen-size warning when you are about to enter a dangerous site, but can be over ridden. I agree that AVG and McAfee are genewrally more accurate.
Cons
Has had warnings on sites I have visited for years and know to be safe. Of course, provides for feedback in this case.

"Seems okay"
Version: WOT for Firefox 20080811
Pros
Easy to work with
-
"Highly Useful"
Version: WOT for Firefox 20080811
Pros
WOT is part of my safety armory when I surf. It provides safety ratings for websites and shows them by adding a tiny color coded icon next to the search results. It also gives a warning if you are about to enter a risky site. What I like most is that the ratings are accurate and well up to date. It is also fast and doesn't slow down surfing.

"Don`t Put Your Trust In This."
Version: WOT for Firefox 20080811
Cons
The problem is that anyone that does not like or agree with the content of a site can mark it as being unsafe.And that is exactly what goes on with this add on.I use AVG(on Google)& McAfee(on Yahoo)to check if a site is safe.They have never been proven incorrect.There are so many false positive with this that it cannot be relied upon at all.It will mark sites that are so obviously suspicious that the average person simply would avoid them in the first place.Oh,and the constant pop ups are annoying,too.Intuition and common sense are prefered to this mess.
