Package: lynx Version: 2.8.3-1 If you say lynx www.<some-domain-label-with-a-typo-in-it>.com then lynx shows you a spammy 3rd-party search page, rather than giving an error. (I haven't provided an actual example domain because I fear that naming any actual domain may cause some squatter to register it.)
This is because if it can't resolve the URL it by default tries adding .com to it. .com.com exists and contains a wildcard typosquatting search. The solution is to change the default value of URL_DOMAIN_SUFFIXES to the empty string. While we're at it, URL_DOMAIN_PREFIXES should be empty by default too.
