New Site Confirm is a Chrome extension developed by Ross Jacobs. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This free extension aims to protect users from accessing malicious websites by confirming their intention to visit domains they haven't been to before.

New Site Confirm provides users with an additional layer of security when navigating the internet. It gives them time on an extension page to decide whether they want to load a URL on a new domain. This can be especially helpful when clicking on email links or copying and pasting URLs, as it allows users to verify the authenticity of the website they are about to visit.

In terms of privacy, this Chrome extension does not collect any data and does not have permission to read or modify the contents of pages. It only accesses the Public Service List and the Domain Block List.

As for future improvements, the developer has outlined several potential enhancements. These include GUI improvements to make it look like a waypoint, blocking JavaScript on target pages, displaying large warning signs if a URL is on the Block Domain List, and exploring the possibility of using tabActive instead of tabs for better functionality.

Overall, New Site Confirm is a useful Chrome extension that adds an extra layer of protection against malicious websites and deceptive URLs. Its simple yet effective approach helps users make informed decisions when accessing unfamiliar domains.
