As you know, Twitter’s name was officially changed to ‘X’ last week. Although they could not fully install the updates in mobile applications, the images on both the domain and the site have now changed to ‘X’ in the browser. However, it seems that Microsoft Edge browser does not recognize X.
In Chromium-based browsers, X has been considered a suspicious link and Edge is one of those browsers. The warning he gives is frankly a bit funny.
‘This app may be trying to trick you into pretending to be another app’
Edge has shown this as a potential phishing threat, showing warnings about Twitter re-registering as X and changing its icon. Let’s also point out that Neowin shared this news and we have not encountered such a warning in the Edge browser at the moment.
The warning asks users to review the logo change and states, “If this app is trying to trick you into believing it’s a different app, uninstall the app”. We need to point out that this is not a real security risk from X itself, but a warning due to Edge’s built-in anti-phishing feature working as designed.
The other day, X was mistaken as a site domain with +18 content by Indonesia and closed to access. Does the emergence of such interesting problems make Elon Musk question his decision? What are you thinking? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
