Isn't hovering the link and just see where it goes enough to detect a phishing attempt? You really need to open the page?

- hrbrtglm 11y agoNot related to mail fishing as javascript is filtered (disabled) for emails, but more with browsers ... I'm a nitpicker but that's one of the reason why i dislike safari browser. You need the status bar enabled in order to see the links destination url and I don't like the 7 pixels height taken by this bar. But as I am browsing with javascript enabled, I can't be sure that the url showed by the link is the destination I'll be sent to. That's something quite hard to explain to non technical people (like my parents). I'm not even trying to be honest. I'm not sure what to think about this behavior and generally with link shortener, it's an easy way to phish people in forum, comments, ... And the shortened link still works for emails.
