I really hope things like this do not lead us to a mentality that anything that isn't the Latin alphabet is malware or spam. There are people in the world using non-Latin alphabets and allowing them to have domain names in their native alphabets is a good thing, we just haven't worked out how to do it securely yet. Disabling the rendering of punycode is actually not helpful in cases where you wanted to visit a domain using the Cyrillic alphabet which you want to be sure of, and someone registered some similar looking domain which looks equally like a bunch of gibberish to the one you're looking for. Some suggestions, maybe good, maybe bad: * It may be as simple as adding a character set into the address bar * Flag a warning if the domain name alphabet doesn't match the page content (as would be the case in this example) or maybe something else
