Ugh. The worst. I have to explain weekly that microsoftonline.com is fine, az.co is really amazon, why things like amazon.training are legit, what x.co or other link shorteners are, and that only the last . matters and the letters immediately before and after that.
It’s a bad system, made worse by people that should know better.
- whoopdedo 8y agoThe people that should know better are, I'm afraid, us. I recall many complaints a few months ago when the idea was floated for Chrome to not show the URL in the location bar but instead display the organization name from the SSL certificate.
- benatkin 8y agoThat would give the EV Certificate vendors, who have shown many times they can't be trusted, too much power, and turn the web into a walled garden, or it would be useless. Take your pick.
