Mozilla.org has had SpoofStick extension available for Mozilla & Firefox for many months. It shows you the real URL your browser is visiting.

Better tool available...

NetCraft essentially copied FraudEliminator's product verbatim
(www.fraudeliminator.com). FraudEliminator still remains the
better product, as it provides several features that NetCraft
lacks, such as proactively blocking fraudulent sites as they load.

SpoofStick shows the "real" URL but nothing more and is of little
use to novice users.

No Thanks!
