The Web3 Opera browser has announced a new set of security tools aimed at helping its users mitigate common risks associated with malicious actors in the Web3 ecosystem.

The new security toolset called Web3 Guard is a set of browser security features that promises to protect users against malicious decentralized applications (DApps), seed phrase phishing attacks, and malicious actors.

The security tool checks for known security risks associated with DApps, such as suspicious code, security vulnerability, and audit history. This helps users get a better insight into the DApp they plan to explore and alerts them in case any of the mentioned vulnerabilities are found.

The built-in security tools would also check for any seed phrase phishing attacks by scanning web pages for telltale signs of exploitation, such as common phishing keywords and properties, without compromising users’ privacy or personal data. Danny Yao, a senior manager of cryptocurrency products at Opera told Cointelegraph:

“Currently, Web3 Guard provides warnings and information to users so that they are not only aware of potential risks on the spot, but also gradually become familiar with Web3-specific types of dangers.”

The new cryptographic browser security tools also introduce a malicious address checker that scans recipient addresses against a list of known malicious actors and warns users if suspicious activity is detected. Additionally, the browser has the option to enable HTTPS everywhere, adding an extra layer of security and ensuring that the websites users visit employ reliable encryption techniques.
