    PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
    No more scammers

    Navigating social media these days feels like walking through a maze of fakes and scams, where every other profile seems just a little too good—or sketchy—to be real. We've all been there: wondering if that DM from a "brand" is legit, or if you're about to get catfished by a celebrity imposter.

It works across major platforms like Instagram and Twitter, and yes, even in your DMs, so you can stop second-guessing and start scrolling with confidence.

    Here’s the thing: NotCommon is super simple. Once it’s installed, it’s out of your way, quietly checking every profile and website you visit, keeping you safe from impersonators without you even having to think about it. It’s like having a digital truth detector running in the background.
