Measured on , version 86b0904. We show each number as it came out, even when it is low.
Honest summary: by address alone, without the list, AcaiSafe warns about only a few fake sites. On fake bank sites, the list has not changed the result yet. On messages, without AI, it almost never warns. We are working on it and publish every new measurement here.

How we measure
Fake sites come from public scam lists. We keep only the site’s name.
The scam list only starts reaching browsers with the next extension version. Through version 1.0.5, a bug of ours kept it from downloading, so those versions run the rules without it.
The reported fake stores are already on our list, so there the result with the list proves the list works, not that we found new scams. The number without the list is the honest one.
The messages are examples we wrote, with no one’s data. We count any warning, even for another kind of scam. There are few, so they show only a trend.
We do not measure the page’s content, the site’s age or the AI check.
