Linkextend might be a viable alternative, but it tries to do way to much and needs config to remove bloat. I'll try it again soon and update my post.
PS: Tried Avira Browser Security and Link Extend. Basically ABS is a poor replacement and LE was broken.
Avira seems to take no issue with the site, yet WOT reports malware etc.
there's the mess LE leaves you with. Its possible to clean it up to only include a polite icon though. Unfortunately it wouldn't work for me; I tried several different search engines, and no icons indicating site safety (or anything else) were visible. It also comes with several site advisirs (Norton, Mcafee, etc) including WOT which can be disabled, though unclear if they still get your data. I might give LE another shot if I can't find anthing else.
Because seemingly innocent or safe websites could have hidden dangers we may not recognize, no matter how careful we are. It's not unusual for a previously safe website to become infected.
It's also a lot quicker to see the red icon and think "ok I won't click on that" than clicking on it and trawling through whatever site it is to figure out if its legit.
I haven't used WoT for a month now and I miss it. Not enough to serve them my data on a platter though.

It must not work all that well because WOT (before I removed it) would still pickup an occasional disreputable website and I've yet to see MBAM block or report one.
It also makes the Internet a safer place: blocks the loading of dangerous websites, speeds up the page loading, secures your privacy and much more. Works perfectly with all browsers!
Just looked it up, it does, woops. But, that service is provided by Web Of Trust. So it might not be any safer!
