Protected sites

Extra protection for your most sensitive sites.

On your bank, tax, government and healthcare sites, Haven pauses your other browser extensions while you're there. On every site, it checks each link in real time, so you can bank with confidence.

What You Get on a Protected Site

Multiple layers of security working together to keep your banking safe.

Extension Pausing

Pauses your other browser extensions on Protected sites, then brings them back when you leave. Password managers keep working.

Link Scanning

Scores every link on every page against 8 risk categories including brand impersonation, character substitution, and suspicious domains.

Real-Time Alerts

Links to Verified sites get a green checkmark. Suspicious links are flagged with a warning before you click. All analysis happens instantly.

Why Extensions Are Dangerous

Browser extensions have more access than you think.

Extensions Can Read Your Passwords

Browser extensions can access form fields, intercept credentials, and read everything on the page.

Extensions Can Modify Transactions

Malicious extensions can alter bank transfers, change account numbers, and inject fake forms.

Extensions Can Steal OTPs

One-time passwords and 2FA codes can be intercepted by compromised extensions in real-time.

You'd Never Know

Extension attacks are invisible. There's no warning, no popup, no sign anything happened.

How Link Scanning Works

Multi-layered URL analysis that catches what others miss.

Brand Impersonation Detection

Detects when URLs mimic trusted brands using misspellings, extra characters, or look-alike domains.

Aa

Character Substitution Detection

Catches Cyrillic lookalikes, leetspeak (ch4se, paypa1), and mixed-script tricks designed to fool you.

Domain Structure Analysis

Flags raw IP addresses, excessive subdomains, suspicious TLDs (.xyz, .tk), and other structural red flags.

Real-Time Link Scanning

Every link is evaluated as pages load, including extracting real URLs from search engine redirects.

Haven pauses every other browser extension except the password managers it recognizes (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane, and others). That includes ad blockers, shopping extensions, productivity tools, and any other extension that could read the page.
Password managers are never paused. Haven recognizes popular password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, and Dashlane and keeps them running so you can still autofill your sign-in on your bank's site.
By themselves, as soon as you switch away from the Protected tab or close it. If you would rather keep them paused while any Protected tab is open, even one in the background, choose "While any Protected tab is open" in Haven's settings instead of the recommended "Only the tab I'm looking at". They then come back on when you close the last one.
Yes. Protected sites, link checking and the Verified pill are included free with the Haven Chrome extension for individual use.
Haven scans every link on every page you visit in real-time. Each URL is evaluated against eight risk categories including brand impersonation, character substitution, suspicious TLDs, and domain structure anomalies. Results appear instantly as visual indicators on each link.
A green checkmark means the link points to a site on Haven's Verified list. A warning indicator means the link has characteristics associated with phishing attempts. Hover over any indicator to see details about why it was flagged.
Yes. Haven scans links on every website you visit, not just banking sites. This means phishing links in emails, social media, search results, and any other webpage are detected and flagged.
By default, the banking and wealth, tax, government, state portal and healthcare sites on Haven's Verified list of 200+ sites. If your organization manages Haven, it can add more. Every site on the list is Verified whether or not it is Protected: Haven confirms it is the real site. You can also request a site be added to the list.
