People don't type addresses, they open google, type "facebook" there and click the first link. Phishing often relies on similarity between different domain names. Switching to tor domains will remove assumption of reliability of domain name reading.
- dna_polymerase 6y agoAnd replaces it with what exactly? A trusted source of truth? Meaning Google? Haha.
- hertzrat 6y agoIt will be harder to verify whether an address is real or fake. You would have to trust the search engines. Offloading the responsibility to google basically makes google the DNS provider
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoPhishing wouldn't work if addresses were easy to verify. And safe browsing services wouldn't be needed either.
- haha_lul 6y agoI do :)
- sellyme 6y agoThere is approximately zero overlap between the userbase of Tor and the group of people who get to Facebook by Googling "facebook".
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoUserbase of tor has no problem with onion domains.
