A site that allows you to view a wide variety of files online. There are also lots of facts about all kinds of file formats. Filext has been around for over 20 years and is something like the mother of all file information sites.

Seems to be a good site, though the information seems to be out of date.

Always asking to check out my computer - suspect straight away. Not worth risking

Didn't have any problem, found unknown extension fast, maybe they gave up on the malware push from Uniblue.

They were once a good site, But were purchased by a maleware distributor. Now it is just a platform to try and push maleware on unsuspecting users. This green rating likely comes from back when they were safe. It should be changed to reflect that that is no longer the case.

Useful, but it is quite hard to find what you want, it's cluttered with ads.

Used to be a great site, but now it's pushing malware (registry pseudoscanners)

tries to trick users for making some system check - seems no longer doing a job in providing file format explanations.

Just advertising a "free scan"

Pushes the neophyte into getting their utilities. Their fix is not the only one out there. At one time was a decent site, but not now. (Sort by Date to see the chronological change.)

Used to be a nice site, but now that it's been purchased by uniblue it's just a malware pusher website.

What happened FilEXT? This used to be a great site until it was acquired by Uniblue, the malware company.
