RE: Sign-in warning tweak to remind/limit phishing attempts

It's not really just a Steemit problem, it's a browser problem. For a while I've been saying that it would be nice to have webpages go through a verification process so when you go to that page, it actually tells you you're on... say, Steemit.com. On the left end of the browser address bar, before the address, it would tell you if the site had been confirmed and what that site was. This may already exist, but I haven't really seen it.

Sort:  

would be interesting to know of there is an app that could store important addresses/bookmarked addresses and do this check.

If you "google" something, it will tell you next to the link that you've visited the site before and when that visit occurred. If it's a new site though, there's nothing you can do (that I know of). Anti-virus, I guess.
