Local website checks
PHProtect compares advertised PHP versions with the bundled PHP2Shell advisory and adds best-effort guards for recovery phrases, supported wallet requests and recognized clipboard commands.
A browser extension cannot patch PHP or verify that a website is safe. Headers and heuristics can be wrong. Website hooks can be bypassed. Read the capabilities and limitations before using it.
