High level recap:
Chrome - fixed in 59 (current stable is 57)
Firefox - no plans to change; you can adjust network.IDN_show_punycode in about:config
IE - immune
Safari - immune

Could you explain what fixed/immune means? Is it only the confusable characters, ie characters that are visually identical or near-identical to latin characters, that is getting the punycode treatment?
I think IE and Safari just don't support Unicode in domains.
I'm not sure the nature of Chrome's fix, but IE and Safari don't support punycode.
