If you want safe surfing learn javascript
So say Miscrosoft. This is from Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 833786. Really.
Things that you can do to help protect yourself from malicious hyperlinks
To try to identify the URL of the current Web site, use the following methods.
Use Jscript commands to try to identify the actual URL for the current Web site
Use a JScript command in Internet Explorer. In the Address bar, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
javascript:alert("Actual URL address: " + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/");
To properly close the loop hole where a link incorrectly displays the address of another site in the address bar, Microsoft has removed support for username and passwords in the URL.
