This is where AwesomeBar is... well, Awesome.
I'm here so much I just type ne <tab> <enter> and I'm here.
There's something unsettling about using a domain that forwards to the site you actually want to use; especially when they aren't owned by the same person / organization.
- jacquesm 17y agoThe biggest risk is that one day they turn into a phishing site... That's a long shot, but if enough people would start using a non-related domain as an alternative front door to a site that would be a very nasty way to catch a bunch of people unaware. Even more sneaky to forward them to the real site after they log in (or to proxy the requests).
- icey 17y agoI don't really think anything bad will happen in this example. I'm just saying in general it's one of those things that makes me uncomfortable.
