Phishing URL and Email Detection with Browser Extension

A laptop-CPU system that detects phishing web addresses and phishing e-mails and warns the user inside the browser. URLs are scored from the address alone with lexical features, character n-grams and a fine-tuned BERT-mini; e-mails with TF-IDF, MiniLM embeddings and a fine-tuned BERT-small. A Chrome extension checks every page through a local API, shows a warning bar, checks selected e-mail text and works offline with a model running in JavaScript.
