WebRep is a site rating tool found in Avast Internet Security.
Using Avast version 6.0.1125.

WebRep is UGLY in IE9. It is displayed as a separate bar below the tab. Is there any way to incorporate it neatly (eg. beside the back/forward buttons) into the IE9 UI? Also, unlike Chrome and Firefox, the WebRep icon is greyed out in IE9.
-
Inconsistent implementation of the WebRep plugin. In Chrome, you can either click the WebRep icon, or right-click it to open a context menu. In Firefox, right-clicking will not show the same context menu.
-
No support for Opera?
-
No option to show only poorly rated/risky sites. It’s a bit annoying to have green WebRep bars all over a Google search result.
My browsers:
Chrome 13.0.767.1
Firefox 4.01
IE9
Opera 11.11
- The webrep can do nothing in how IE handles toolbars, if you don’t have at least one toolbar enabled then it won’t display.
I have IE9 (don’t use it that often) on my other system win7 netbook, but I believe that was working last time I used IE9. However my win7 and IE9 are 32bit versions. I don’t know if you are using the 64bit version of IE9 as I think that may well be an issue, though I can’t recall where I saw that comment.
-
I don’t use Chrome so I can’t comment on that, but there doesn’t appear to be a right click menu on the webrep page icon in Firefox 4. It just displays the standard toolbar options.
-
No, currently no Opera support.
-
I don’t know any other similar rep tools that are selective, WOT shows for all categories. Currently there are no user settings for the webrep other than installed or uninstalled.

I Use Google Chrome And WebRep And Oh I Know How You Feel.
I Just Don’t Know Which Is The Right Bar To Look At And Which Websites Are Safe And Which Ones Are Not!
It’s Terrible, Hope It Gets Fixed.
