I have recently installed Link-Extend  (a Firefox add on)   "which provides meta-site-ratings for computer safety, child safety, company ethics, and popularity. Safety results come from eight online services. " So far it's dong fine   :fingers:

You can also try this: http://www.robtex.com/ (http://www.robtex.com/)

The domain tab sometimes gives a trustworthiness rating.
And the other tabs give lots of amazing data you never knew you didn't know.
e.g. here's what it thinks about bbc.co.uk:  http://www.robtex.com/dns/bbc.co.uk.html (http://www.robtex.com/dns/bbc.co.uk.html)
