Mentioning Brave is like subscribing to downvotes. ๐Ÿ˜…

Indeed, but it's true - Brave did bring this feature long ago. It's a good thing for us, let multiple browsers try to one up each other on privacy focused features.

That's true, this was one thing that was slightly annoying when I made the move from brave to Firefox. But I mean, I wouldn't really characterise this as a reliable security feature. If you don't manually check your URL before hitting return anyway, you're going to be less secure than without the feature

As a Brave user I'm well aware ... of all of the above ๐Ÿ˜
