Why the Punycode attack is not listed or mention above?

This is one of the Electrum attacks before even you see the legit URL which is electrum.org we cant see if the site is fake or not but if you copy and paste the URL to notepad it will show the true URL.

I know you can disable Punycode in firefox but I don't know how for chrome.

For safety better use firefox instead and disable punnycode get more info from this post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5178198.0

Thanks for this, I never knew they could do this too. I guess Chrome doesn't have a security patch available yet after reading this article: https://superuser.com/questions/1421982/how-can-i-test-punycode-url-will-display-correctly-prior-to-purchase

So yeah, in those terms, I believe Firefox is good. What about other browsers? Are punycode attacks limited to these 2 browsers only? What about Tor browser? I didn't find anything related to this for Tor.

For now I didn't heard about Punycode in Tor browser. they mostly pointing it to two browser both chrome and firefox since more people use these two browser than the other browser I think other browsers too have this issue.

What do you think about the brave browser?

According to ethicalhacker almost all browser are vulnerable about puncycode "Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, though Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Brave, and Vivaldi."
But except to TOR browser, it means that tor browser is not affected by this issue.
