Repeat.It would have been nice, I had thought at some point in the past, if my Internet browser can actually get me to the correct site I wanted to go to regardless of whether I missed a letter or two while typing its URL on the address bar.Any User of online banking who depends on typing URLs is a walking, one-way invitation for phishing attacks.

I have all my stuff Bookmarked.I worry more about people getting scammed via e-mail. Spam filters are OK but I've had fake Amazon emails slip through and look extremely legit, while 99% of stuff is obvious crap to me.I knew I didn't order anything though that time so I just deleted, and with all the extensions I have if I did click a dodgy url, that site wouldn't be able to load any shady stuff and I'd get wise to the bad URL ASAP.
