URL Basic Auth Warning

Displays a warning when you are about to visit a URL that contains basic auth credentials, to help prevent phishing attacks.

Clicking on a link to a URL like [email protected] would take you to a website with the domain something.zip, which may not be what you expect, and may allow an attacker to conduct a phishing attack by imitating example.com. This extension should display a warning when this is happening, and may help prevent that. Of course, it is not a guarantee, and you are still responsible for your own security.
