Home / For you

Safer browsing at home. Free, and in plain language.

Scam pages rarely look like scams. They look like a CAPTCHA, your bank or a shop you know. ByteMantle sits in Chrome or Edge and steps in at the moment a page tries to trick you — before anything runs.

No account needed. Detection runs on your computer and keeps working offline.

Free · Fake CAPTCHA

“Press Windows + R and paste to prove you are human.”

No real check ever asks this. When you clicked the box, the page secretly copied a command. Pasting it and pressing Enter would install a program that steals your passwords.

  • ByteMantle recognises the fake check and the command, before you act
  • The command on your clipboard is replaced with a harmless message, so even a paste does nothing
  • A plain warning tells you what the site tried to do, with one button back to safety
  • Works on Windows, macOS and Linux commands

A fake “Verify you are human” page, the ByteMantle warning that blocked it, and the clipboard cleaned with a harmless message
The fake CAPTCHA, the warning, and a clipboard with nothing harmful left to paste.
Three more situations you may recognise

The tricks change. The moment they need you is the same.

A shop or bank site you have never seen

A great deal, a “final reminder” to pay, a bank page with a name that is almost right. ByteMantle warns you when a site was registered only recently or imitates a name you know, so you can stop before you pay or sign in.

Free

A sign-in page that is not what it seems

A copy of your Microsoft or Google sign-in, or a page that asks you to “enter this code” to give another device access to your account. You get a clear warning before you type a password or a code.

Free trial and Pro

A wallet request that could empty your wallet

A site asks your crypto wallet for an unlimited approval, a permit or a blind signature. ByteMantle reads what is really being asked and flags the dangerous requests — as critical when the site is brand-new or has shown attack signs. Your wallet still asks you to confirm.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The Free protection needs no account and has no time limit. It stops malicious copy-paste commands and warns you about brand-new and look-alike websites.

Do I need an account?

No. You only need a free account for the 14-day trial of the extra protection and the web console. No payment details are asked for.

What happens when the trial ends?

The browser goes back to the Free protection by itself. Nothing is charged. Your console data is kept for 30 days, so you can pick up where you left off.

Does it replace my antivirus?

No, it works alongside it. Your antivirus looks at programs after they start; ByteMantle looks at the page and the clipboard before anything runs.

Does it read what I type?

No. There is no keystroke logging, and what you type, your passwords and form contents are never sent. Detection happens inside your browser.

Stop these attacks before anything runs.

Free browser protection for everyone, in Chrome and Edge. One console for your whole company when you need it.
