The Suspicious Site Reporter for Chrome extension is a Google tool that makes it easy to report sites that may have phishing features.
The plugin actively checks the pages visited by the user and alerts you if there is a danger signal.
Among the advantages is the identification of possible homographic attack attempts, where there is manipulation of characters from a URL to mislead the user.
In case of suspicion, it is possible to report the site with one click for deeper checking.
