La notifica è un avviso temporaneo che potrebbe essere poco visibile così come il quadratino rosso in alto nella barra degli indirizzi. Non sarebbe male un avviso in una nuova pagina, avviso che non scompaia.
The notification is just temporary can be not much visible, and is the same for the red alert on the URL bar. Will be not bad an alert in a new window.

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.
