FOR ORGANIZATIONS
For anyone thinking of passing these tools on
Legacy Tools are Chrome extensions that help people check before sending, opening a link or pasting text.
The extensions do not send input or detection results to the developer's servers. Each product page explains its permissions, stored data, network use and known limits.

BEFORE YOU RECOMMEND
Before recommending a tool
- Free to use and free to recommend

Legacy Tools does not decide whether something is dangerous or prevent every scam or data leak. It provides information to help people make their own decisions.
Supported sites, displayed information and required settings vary by product. Before recommending a tool, check its current product page, terms and disclaimer.
When introducing a tool, choose a situation together and explain what it can help people notice and what it does not judge. Each person decides whether to install it or send their information.
