sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoLet’s say that I go to google.com. The UI shows
https://google.com/ . No punycode because it is plain ascii. Everything is as expected.
Now let’s say I click on a link for googӏe.com. The ui shows `googӏe.com (googӏe.com) I’d be like, holy shit that is a shady URL!
That’s how I imagine it helping, although I am not a UI expert. There could be a better way. But that googӏe.com scares me – I can’t visually tell that it is not a normal lowercase “l”.

Because it does not match google.com

For most security - centric websites, the right name is ASCII only.
For any that aren’t, people would have the opportunity to become familiar with the correct fingerprint over time and have a chance to notice a difference.
I’m curious to hear if you think there is a better way. What I’m saying is unlikely to ever be implemented in a browser and I’m not trying to convince you or anything, just say why I personally would appreciate it.
