anyone has experiences about this app ? Now I am using WOT and McAfee SiteAdvisor.

Thinking to switch McAfee with this since they flagged bad site with known malware rated as a good.

Just installed it, not bad.
One annoyance so far, is that to check the detailed rating for a site it replace the page instead of opening a new tab. :(

Check detailed rating in same tab/window.

I'm keeping it :), I'd dumped SA ages ago for WOT, now using both WOT and BD, not noticing any performance hit :)

In my opinion there's no such thing as a good browser toolbar.

I see what you're referring to when I looked at the screenshots Softpedia has of it.

Yich @ those screens.
It doesn't look like that in Firefox, just an oversized button which would be nice if they made smaller like the WOT icon.

Netcraft is a very good toolbar.
