Fortunately I know the form of a URL (anyone who uses them ought to know, and if you don't know, then you must learn), and I use a fixed pitch font on the status bar and location bar. I also fixed it to display only ASCII characters in the location bar, so that homoglyph attacks are also avoided.
- maxfan8 7y agoMost modern browsers are designed to prevent IDN homoglyph attacks by using Punycode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode This shouldn't be much of a concern these days.
- zzo38computer 7y agoIn the domain name, yes it uses Punycode, and I have configured it to display the ASCII domain name rather than the Unicode characters; this is an option in the browser. However, there is also the file name, which there seems no option to configure, so I used userChrome.js to change it so that it always displays ASCII for the entire URL and not only the domain name.
