Comments and Reviews
WOT is very useful, especially when browsing search results on Google or another search engine. I recommend turning off the Child Safety rating though, since at least half of the stuff on the internet is child-inappropriate. :P
Internet really needs a FOSS replacement for WOT, something with a blockchain. Related to Bitcoin/ Ethereum
A rating system would be abused by users who don't like a website. I think a commenting system would be much better. And comments should be rated, so useful comments come up in ranking. Thus the best description of the website would outrank the others.

Lol the site you found is for sale
There is no trace of its old form. I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
At Party Plexx, we take online safety seriously, and the WOT Web of Trust app has become an essential tool in our digital arsenal. This app has truly elevated our browsing experience and provided us with peace of mind.
The WOT Web of Trust app is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for us to assess the trustworthiness of websites and avoid potential risks. Its color-coded safety ratings and user-generated reviews provide valuable insights into the reputation and security of websites we visit. With a quick glance, we can identify trustworthy sites and steer clear of those with a questionable reputation.
One of the standout features of the WOT app is its community-driven nature. The app allows users to contribute their own ratings and reviews, fostering a collective effort to create a safer online environment. We have found this feature particularly useful, as it enables us to rely on the experiences and opinions of fellow users when navigating through unfamiliar websites.
The app's real-time protection feature is a game-changer. It alerts us to potential threats, such as phishing attempts or malicious content, ensuring that we can promptly steer clear of any harm. The warnings are clear and concise, allowing us to make informed decisions while browsing the web.
We also appreciate the versatility of the WOT app. It seamlessly integrates with our web browsers, providing a seamless browsing experience across different platforms. The app's compatibility with both desktop and mobile devices ensures that we are protected no matter where we go online.
Lastly, the WOT Web of Trust app comes with reliable customer support. Anytime we have encountered an issue or had questions, their support team has been responsive and helpful, resolving our concerns in a timely manner.
In conclusion, the WOT Web of Trust app is an indispensable tool for safeguarding our online experience. Its user-friendly interface, community-driven ratings, real-time protection, and excellent customer support have truly impressed us. We highly recommend the WOT app to individuals and businesses alike, as it provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind in our online endeavors.
According to AlternativeTo, "Warning: Accused to sell the browsing history of its users by German national television."
Just don't use it as web browser extension - website only. It still have very good community database.
So, I always thought the four categories in WoT were quite useless, however I'm not yet aware of a better alternative. I agree with other reviews that the ratings of sites were only as good as the feedback from users, but I value being able to provide feedback even if it's not vetted. It would be better if there were moderators like a forum, it's also necessary for individual pages or products on sites to be individually reviewed separate from the root domain.
I'm still not aware of any alternative that allows users to give direct feedback that's publicly visible, there's got to be something out there? The new Windows Edge browser has some capability to comment on sites you visit so maybe that will help...
