Ugh I didn't realize clicking randomly on the heart would take me to a porn site. The only red for me was HN.

HN is in the list? I'm here all the time and I don't see a red HN dot.

It's because he broke it. He changed it so it puts www in front of all domains. But that won't work for all domains

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For a temporary fixed, I prepend 'www.' to all the links. It could be improved by having all the related frequently-used url of the sites listed e.g. other subdomains. Thanks!

This breaks where the link is a subdomain e.g., www.news.ycombinator.com

Fixed it. Thanks!

Ah, okay.

One thing I didn't see discussed at all (mind you, there were thousands of comments on various threads) was crowd sourcing the search for exploited domains in people's browser cache (as opposed to search engine and archive caches).

If I understand this, it "simply" matches against the already known list of known to have leaked domains. Right? But what about potential other leaks that didn't get cached by search engines but that might live in people's caches??
