Only just found out last night that wot has been removed from some browsers,

Now what are we supposed to use that tells us about bad sites?

You could try out URL Void.
URLVoid is free and analyzes websites through multiple online blacklist engines and reputation tools.

You're welcome sallyanne. :bigthup

There's also a program called BitDefender TrafficLight.
You might want to check that one out as well.

Yeah so I found out. I just restored my browser yesterday and in the process of that some plugins were removed so I just thought it was removed then. I went to get it back on again and found out that wot had been deceiving users by selling information so I already probably had it removed and didn't realize it.

A good article offering some alternatives:
