Trend Micro ID Protection review

Trend Micro ID Protection, previously called Trend Micro Check, is a broad privacy extension rather than a light site blocker. Its Chrome listing covers anti-tracking, ad and pop-up blocking, a password manager with autofill, social media account monitoring, alerts before you visit poorly rated sites and safety ratings on search results, and Trend Micro says its technology detects and blocks up to 99% of phishing sites. The catch for this list is pricing. Trend Micro's plan table includes anti-tracking, social media monitoring, a data leak check and a password generator in the free tier, but lists Web Threat Protection only under the Standard plan at $49.99 per year and the Plus plan at $69.99 per year. Plus adds identity theft resolution help and up to $1 million in identity fraud insurance for US customers. Both paid plans have a 7-day free trial. If you only want malicious and phishing sites blocked, the free extensions ranked above do that without a subscription.

Who it is for
