It wouldn't be a perfect solution, but I wonder why browsers don't indicate the registration date for a domain in the URL bar somehow? I bet junon would have seen that and gotten suspicious.

I like this idea and could see it being visually represented as a faint red/green bar behind the URL text in the address bar, with a greater amount of the bar being red when the domain is less trusted.
As for developers trusting a plugin that reaches out to an external location to determine the reputation of every website they visit seems like a harder sell though.
that's a good one not perfect for sure, hackers would just start buying domains earlier but still...
Yeah, but there is a takedown process when a spam site is detected (the server provider can shut off access, etc), so it is a game that is somewhat winnable.
There are curated lists over newly registered domain names that some security software uses so it should be easy to add without any privacy issues.
