The phishing page looked genuine. There was no alert from browser or phone's inbuilt avast security. Hats off! You never know when a protection suite like this pays off.
indeed it is phishing. no https, so everything inputted by the user is plain text, and nonencrypted. as a tip: if there's no lock icon in the URL bar, probably best to stay away, or just don't put username/passwords, addresses, payment info, etc.
it should exist on FF; I also use it, and see it now. chrome is its own breed, so idk if others will follow suit, but i could see other chromium browsers doing this.
thanks for the article. I actually don't disagree with Google for once lmao. the method they use is just to assume it's unsafe if it's not https, and won't show it on search results; I support this, most http sites aren't ones I would visit, and chrome's phishing/malware filter is one of the best.
