Doesn't every browser "grey out" everything other than the hostname & TLD these days?

- lazycouchpotato 3y agoThey do, but you're probably not doing to come across that when clicking on a URL ending with .zip that downloads a zip file, as shown in the example.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoYou're not likely to see the URL when clicking on it, because the vast majority of sites use links with text other than the URL. Chrome (the most popular browser) truncates the URL that shows up when you hover over it, if you even notice that bar pop up. So they can just make the URL really long to hide the domain, like many scammers already did.
