What's Changed

Added

  • The Check the reputation of links I click scan now has a How to open the site while the
    check runs
    choice in Settings → Scanning, with three modes. Open the site right away and
    show the verdict overlay
    (the default) keeps the existing behaviour: the site loads immediately
    and the corner overlay reports the verdicts. The two new wait modes park the tab on a Risk Radar
    checking page until the verdicts are in: a click whose addresses come back safe or unknown enters
    the site on its own, while one that comes back with a caution or dangerous verdict either offers a
    Continue anyway choice (warn me if the site is not safe) or is refused outright (block
    the site if it is not safe
    ). The checking page replaces the held site's history entry, so Go
    back
    returns to the page the click started from rather than to the unchecked site.
  • Two new tells in the Suspicious Links classification: a plain http: destination (the
    link's traffic is unencrypted) and IPv6 literal hosts (http://[2001:db8::1]/), which the
    existing raw-IP tell (previously IPv4 only) now also catches.

Fixed

  • The displayed-vs-real URL mismatch tell (Malicious Redirects) missed links whose visible text
    is a raw-IP URL, common on threat-feed listings where the text reads
    http://105.224.66.14:53221/bin.sh but the href opens a different page.
