About this extension
This extension intercepts IDN URLs, i.e. URLs with non-ASCII characters, to assist the user to avoid phishing domains that are very similar (homographs) to legit domains.
The extension gets verdicts from a server which returns a list of domains together with the probibility of being confused by OCR with the resolved URL, and the probability of being fake (phishing).
If there is a best guess, i.e. a resulting domain with a high probabibility of being phishing, the extension marks it as phishing, else the extension can auto-redirect the user to the desired domain. In either case the user can review the output of the server process.
The initial version was authored by Maxi https://github.com/Styehard/Punymax. The new version has been authored by Sergio Chica and Andres Marin https://gitlab.gast.it.uc3m.es/schica/punymax.
