What it is
The Global Trust Index is the community layer behind GriGsi: people vote Trust or Warn on domains, URLs, emails, or short text labels. Votes aggregate into a score and a tier. The system is designed to avoid account-style profiles for the basic flow; details and exceptions are in the Privacy Policy.
Tiers
Tiers are derived from voting volume and signal quality (e.g. diversity and time):
- Observation Not enough data yet.
- Soft trust Early positive signal.
- Confirmed Stronger, more consistent signal over time.
- Flagged Unusual patterns or potential abuse — treat with extra caution.
How to use it
Extension
Install the GriGsi extension. You can check trust for the current tab and vote Trust/Warn. Free tier may include ads; paid plans remove ads and raise limits.
Website
On the Trust Check page, enter a label and click Check. You’ll see the current score and votes, then you can rate with 👎/👍.
API
For your site or app: GET /trust?hash=... or GET /api/trust/batch. Free tier has limits; paid plans for higher volume. See API & embed.
Trust badge
Embed a small widget on your site to show your domain’s trust score. Embed snippet.
Extension: GriGsi Sentinel (when the trust panel appears)
Sentinel is an in-page prompt the extension may show on some sites. It’s a browsing-safety UX and is separate from the Trust Index score/tier logic.
Sentinel uses an allow/quiet list so it doesn’t interrupt you on every navigation. Whether it shows can depend on your settings and the list currently in use.

Votes are keyed by a hash (SHA‑256 of a normalized label). Some flows may also send a display label for UX; see the Privacy Policy for what is stored on the server vs kept locally.
Yes. In a paid Space you can use shared trusted domains and your own workflow with your chosen sources. See Spaces and Pricing.
That is GriGsi Sentinel. It uses a quiet/exception list so widely used sites stay quiet while other sites still get a prompt. Details: Extension: GriGsi Sentinel above.
