Block Unicode Domains Add-on - Protects Against URL Spoofing

Block Unicode domains is a Firefox add-on designed to protect users from URL spoofing. It detects and blocks domains with Unicode characters and displays a 'BLK' badge. Users can temporarily disable the block by clicking the icon, which shows an 'Off' badge for one minute. After one minute, the block automatically restarts to prevent forgetting to reactivate it.
