If you highlight text and right-click to trigger the context menu, there will be an option to "Open WOT scorecard". Clicking the link leads opens the following page in a new tab (for the word "link"):
First, this "feature" opens a Russian tab. I'm not Russian and not in Russia and there's no Russian software on my computer. Something is clearly wrong here.
Second, if I manually change the URL part "/ru/" to "/en/" then it appears WOT was trying to look up a website URL named exactly according to the selected text. This feature does nothing useful then, unless a user happens to select text that exactly matches the name of a website. If kept, make the menu appear only if it matches a URL regex or something.
But I can't imagine why I'd ever want to do it anyway, and it takes up space in my context menu and screws up muscle memory. Please kill this useless feature, or at least give me a way to disable it.
