Issue 4583: URL masquerading: wrong URL shown in the status bar when mouse hover over a link http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4583
Comment #8 by akidan: Even if you can't guarantee the status bar is accurate, what about checking if the destination link changes as a result of the link click, and providing some sort of notice if it changes? Something like: 1) When the user clicks a link, before anything else, store the current destination URL of that link (in other words, the URL that appears in the status bar on hover). 2) Do all logic (Javascript, etc) that needs to happen up to the point just before the page navigation actually occurs. 3) Compare the link's current destination to the destination stored in step 1. If they are different, notify the user that they may not be going where they thought (perhaps with a 'Don't ask me again (for this site/any site)' type of option). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
