Wallet Guard is shutting down. Here's where to go next.
If you relied on Wallet Guard to catch phishing sites and drainer contracts, you need a replacement before the next signature prompt. SafeBrowz is a cross-browser extension that blocks scam sites pre-click, flags wallet drainers, and runs AI content analysis in 100+ languages, and the core protection stays free forever.
Add to Chrome
Firefox
EdgeWhat happened to Wallet Guard
Wallet Guard announced it is winding down. That extension was a big part of how a lot of crypto users stayed safe from phishing sites, fake airdrop pages, and signature prompts that drain wallets in one click. When an extension like that shuts down, the protection doesn't gracefully sunset, it just stops updating. New scam domains show up every hour, and an unmaintained blocklist goes stale fast.
You don't want to wait until you click a bad link to find out your guard is offline. Swapping to a maintained alternative today takes about 30 seconds, and it's the cheapest safety move you'll make this year.
What SafeBrowz does that matters here
Pre-click phishing block
We stop known scam domains before the page even loads. The database covers 420+ brands that scammers impersonate, from exchanges and L2s to wallets and NFT marketplaces. If a link matches a known phish, you see a full-page block instead of a lookalike login.
Wallet drainer detection
The extension scans page scripts for drainer patterns, malicious signature prompts, and the common selectors used by wallet-drain kits. You get a warning before you connect a wallet to a site built to empty it. No private keys ever leave your device.
AI content analysis (multi-language)
For sites we haven't seen before, SafeBrowz runs AI content analysis via our proxy. It reads the page like a cautious human would, in 100+ languages, and flags brand impersonation, fake captcha pages, and lookalike wallet prompts that a pure blocklist would miss.

FAQ
Is SafeBrowz free?
Yes. The core protection, phishing block, drainer detection, brand impersonation database, and AI content analysis, is free forever. We offer an optional Premium at $14.99/year with extras like priority scanning, but free users get the full safety layer. One key covers 3 devices if you do upgrade.
Does it collect browsing history?
No. We don't build a profile of your browsing. When a URL needs a deeper check, only the URL and page content snippet are sent for analysis, never your history, cookies, or wallet data. No private keys are ever touched. Read more on the blog where we break down the privacy model.
I paid for Wallet Guard. Can I transfer my plan?
We don't have a direct transfer program, but if you email proof of your Wallet Guard subscription to safebrowz3@gmail.com we'll give you a Premium promo code as a welcome gesture. The free tier is already strong enough that most people won't need Premium at all.
Does it cover Solana, Base, and Arbitrum?
SafeBrowz is chain-agnostic. We protect the browser layer, which means the phishing sites, fake mint pages, and drainer scripts that target Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum mainnet, Optimism, BNB Chain, and every other network. If the scam loads in a browser tab, we try to catch it.
Don't wait for the next bad signature.
SafeBrowz is live on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge with 420+ brands protected and coverage in 100+ languages. Real users, real paying customers, actively maintained. Pick your browser and you're done.
