Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Possible suggestion for Mozilla homograph vulnerability

From: gnomeDESPAM at DESPAMhawaii.rr.com 

Note: Mozilla & Firefox users who do not need access to domain names using
Unicode characters and have the Ad Block extension installed can add the
following regular expression filter to their AdBlock filters:

 /[^\x20-\xFF]/

It disables access to web sites using Unicode characters. I would think
that it could be refined to filter out sites that use common homophones.

[Moderator note: Adblock is a Mozilla extension to, what else, block ads
from specified web sites.  See https://update.mozilla.org/ and select your
Mozilla based app (Firefox or Mozilla) under extensions (or just select
Extensions from your browser Tools menu and then "Get more extensions".)
for more information.  Adblock is listed under Miscellaneous.]
