Chrome to Display Warnings About Similar or Lookalike URLs

Google is adding a new feature to Google Chrome that will warn users about similar, or lookalike, URLs that a user may visit thinking they are going to the normal site. This feature is designed to warn users when they visit typosquatting domains, IDN Homograph attacks, scams, and phishing sites. Chrome will display a warning under the address bar stating “Did you mean to go to [url]?””. Chrome uses interstitial pages to display warnings to users before they actually visit the requested site.”
