So I tested out the extension.. First the extension spammed me with "login required".. So I click the notification to be taken to a login page.. Great?

The "extension" did a "scan". {"url":"https://r7ouhcqzdgae76-fsc0fydmbecefrap.z03.azurefd.net/new2..."}

response: {"classification":"clean"}

great work?

If I click "Deep scan".. I see a screenshot blob being sent over.. response: { "classification": "phish", "reasons": [ "Our system has previously flagged this webpage as malicious." ] }

So if the site were already flagged, why does the "light" scan not show that?
