I'm working on Ward, a Chrome extension that detects browser scams/phishing using lightweight LLM models. Our target persona is elders, young children, and anyone who's not as tech savvy. When explaining it to people, I call it a "modern antivirus", because it can detect anything from malicious scripts on a page to grey-area misinformation on social media.

I'm bootstrapping and covering LLM costs for Ward's first couple hundred users (got about 50 users at the moment) to improve it. We have a local mode for added privacy and are dipping our feet to gauge biz. interest (client-side phishing protection is unparalleled).

I've recommended it to friends, colleagues and loved ones. I dogfood my own product, and it even surprises me every day how much more mindful it makes me of my browsing of harmful content. Would love to get feedback and testers from HN.
