A method and apparatus for providing safety feedback to web browsers. A web browser contacts a remote server that monitors web site safety and provides a universal resource locator (URL) for a web site the client is about to access. The web site safety or tracking server checks its database for reports of issues related to the URL and provides information on any such issues. The user of the web browser can then make an informed decision about whether to continue the access of the website associated with the URL. The user of the web browser can also send reports of unwanted activities by any website. This information is analyzed and added to the database maintained by the remote server.
