Imagine opening a website and seeing a security warning.
A message that simply says Dangerous Website might make someone stop, but it does not necessarily help them understand the concern.
A more informative warning could explain whether the issue involves a suspicious domain, a known malicious destination, a misleading login page, or an uncertain signal that deserves caution.
It should also make clear what evidence supports the warning and what the user can do next.
Good protection needs to balance speed, clarity, and the risk of false alarms.
As Defentra continues development, feedback on how security warnings should work is particularly useful.
Would you prefer a simple warning first with expandable details, or a more comprehensive explanation immediately?
What information would help you decide whether to continue or leave a website?

What should a suspicious website warning actually tell you?
The difference between confirmed malicious behavior and a potential risk is especially important.
People should not be led to believe that every unfamiliar website is automatically fraudulent.
A useful warning might explain what was detected, how confident the assessment is, and whether there is a safer way to reach the intended service.
Should users also be able to report an incorrect warning for further review?
