Haven, exactly.
We make Haven, a browser extension that checks the links and pages you meet as you browse and flags the ones that look off. It doesn’t block the internet or shout at you; it gives a second opinion and lets you decide.
What Haven can and can’t do is written down in one place. When an answer here mentions Haven, it quotes that.
