- tialaramex 8y agoAccording to the PSL their list is also used for this purpose in Internet Explorer, but not other browsers. (The Public Suffix List is the Mozilla project that knows .co.uk isn't the same kind of thing as .google.com even though they both have two DNS labels. These days every non-crap browser uses it to restrict cross domain cookies but they aren't consistent when it comes to other features)
- neogodless 8y agoIs this specific to a version of Firefox, or an extension? I'm using Firefox 62.0, and I do not see a difference in color between the domain and the rest of the URL. (Windows 10, 1080p screen.) ETA: Holy crap, if I zoom into a screenshot, I can see the difference. My eyes cannot benefit from this feature under normal circumstances, though. Looks like black (#000000) and gray (#807D7D).
- Freak_NL 8y agoI get #9D9D9D on Firefox 61 on Ubuntu (1080p). It is perfectly clear to me. If you have trouble distinguishing between the grey and black, perhaps file a bug report requesting to slightly lower the saturation of the grey? Or perhaps your browser's theme is using that darker grey?

- Macha 8y agoYou may want to check your monitor's brightness/gamma settings. That's a major difference to be invisble, and there's many sites that use light grey on white which are much much closer than this (sadly :( )
- jeltz 8y agoThe difference is huge on my screen, you may want to check your monitor settings.
- type0 8y agoIt also depends on the theme if you chose one.
