Could you build this?

Partial The browser extension UI and basic domain-lookup wrapper are easy, but accurate real-time phishing and scam detection requires proprietary threat intelligence feeds and ML classifiers.

What it would actually take: Building a real version requires an automated URL crawling and sandboxing pipeline, access to high-velocity threat intelligence feeds (e.g., DNS telemetry, newly registered domains, Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank), and low-latency API infrastructure (FastAPI/Go with Redis caching) that evaluates heuristic and ML signals before page load. Specialized cybersecurity engineering and continuous threat dataset curation are essential.
