This is
a little but interesting tricks that IE7 will adopt to help users to identify
dangerous and suspicious websites.
IE7 has a new Anti-Phishing User
Experience feature for known phishing and suspected phishing sites. When
the Phishing Filter is in use, IE will fill the address bar with red for known
phishing sites and with yellow for suspected phishing sites. The user is
immediatly alerted and can choose what action to take (if go to the site or
not).
This is the IE7 address bar for a known phishing website
detected by the Phishing Filter:
and this is the IE7 address bar for a suspected
phishing website detected by the Phishing Filter:
This is the IE7 address bar for a site with a high-assurance SSL certificate
(showing the identity of the site from the SSL certificate):
and this is the IE7 address bar for a site with a
high-assurance SSL certificate(alternating in the name of the
Certification Authority who identified the site):
Undoubtley this new colours have an immediate impact to the user and also if
you're not an expert you can immediatly know if your action could be dangerous
or not. A little thing but with a great impact. Good choice...
