What is IDN Safe?

'IDN Safe' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance online safety by blocking internationalized domain names, also known as punycode domains. It functions with the aim to deter deceptive web spoofing that occurs due to the use of Unicode in domain names. The extension allows for temporary entry on domains or full additions to the whitelist. By default, these are blocked, ensuring a further protective layer against likely phishing websites.

Summary

Analyze keywords

IDN Safe blocks internationalized domain names also known as punycode domains. This helps you to identify them and will prevent you from visiting probable fake sites.

The use of Unicode in domain names makes it potentially easier to spoof web sites as the visual representation of an IDN string in a web browser may make a spoof site appear indistinguishable to the legitimate site being spoofed, depending on the font used.

With IDN Safe you can temporarily allow domains or whitelist them at all. By default they are blocked.
