It would be 5 stars if there is green/red icon for demonstration is there any punycode present. Unfortunately, in android version there is no option to show punycode. So it is almost the only way to check the address bar.

Vom Konzept ist diese Idee simple und klasse! TOP schon mal dafür! Zudem verhindert es, dass sich Laien unbemerkt auf Phishing Seiten bewegen und meldet Alarm. Was mir dabei fehlt ist die die Warnung oder ein Pop-Up Fenster, wie zum Beispiel "Heeey.. Sie bewegen sich gerade auf eine Seite, die nicht gleich der angegebenen Domain zu sein schein!" oder.. "Diese registrierte Domain enthält Sonderzeichen (in unserem Fall sind es Punycodes) und kann von der Echtheit abweichen!"
