I think that there should be some maintained white-list of important websites. I know that many people won't like this idea, but I think that for most users it would be better if Google domains, Facebook domains, etc were displayed differently, for example with green background, because that's what overwhelming majority of users are visiting every day and that's what most scams are targeting. Something like top-1000 websites in every region should qualify for that treatment.
Also I would include government websites to this list.
- gorkish 5y agoThis is already a thing; it's called the HSTS preload list. The sites on it are not set apart visually for the same reasons that browser vendors stopped distinguishing EV certificates.
- vbezhenar 5y agoHSTS preload list is absolutely different thing. It has nothing to do with reputation, anyone can add his website into that list. And yeah, the entire point is to set it apart visually, so scams are easier to detect.
- paulddraper 5y agoWhy doesn't EV fit the bill?
- severino 5y agoI think I recently read that browsers plan to make no visual difference between an EV certificate and a normal one
