Google Chrome will warn you if you type the URL they want to trick you into so you can activate this option

For a long time, phishing scams have been popularized, in which they try to trick us into using URLs very similar to the real addresses of the sites we want to visit. Although it is difficult to detect this type of deception because it can be just a small dot above a character, it is easy to discover now that where fortunately Google Chrome will alert us to this type of deception.

According to the latest news the Chrome web browser has already included a new feature will be responsible for informing the user when you access the web page you want to deceive us. That is, when we enter the Web in the name of a domain similar to another, which is in fact the real site that we must reach. That's why Google has been working for a long time; so the browser detects attacks, but also typographical errors by users who are exploited in the same way.

This feature is in the way, where in Google Chrome Canary 70 version has already been added. However, at this time, this new feature, which will protect us from phishing threats by default, is disabled by default, but if you want to activate it, all you need to do is access the following URL:
