Show HN: Safe Link Checker by Ox Check
For the last couple of months I've been working on a Safe Link Checker, which checks a link against a few things:

- Malware/spam domain lists

- WHOIS details (like registrar and domain age)

- Anti-virus (if it's a file)

- Source Code analysis via AI (if it's not a file, to analyse if there's something "shady" in the source code)

In private beta, most people found the anti-virus and the domain age check to be the most useful data points, and many have created Shortcuts (iOS and macOS) to use the "share" pane to check a link in many apps.

There's also a Safe Email Checker and a Safe API which are in private beta. Feel free to request access if that's something that you could be interested in.

Any and all comments and suggestions are welcome!

I do have a final question, which I haven't heard any requests about, but I have wondered if a Chrome and Firefox extension would be helpful, to simply right-click a link, instead of having to open oxcheck.com, for those not using Shortcuts/Apple.

Thank you!
