My client is running websites on 2 domains names. Let's say companyname.com and company-name.com.

He's clients recently started to receive this kind of warning on Google Chrome:

enter image description here

Sorry I only have it in French, but it basically say that the domain name is pretty similar to another one, and this could be a typosquatting attack.

I didn't find any documentation on this feature given that it has been released recently by Google Chrome.

Do you know if there is a way to make Chrome understand that the 2 domain names are provided by the same company, and so it's not a hack ?

PS: My client wants to keep 2 dedicated domains, so merging them and use subdomains is not an option for now.

Thank you

  • Why is your client wanting to keep separate content on these domains? This is confusing, and it is what has led Google to think that something is wrong. Commented Feb 27, 2021 at 14:37

    Is either domain on the list of the compiled-in more-important-than-you claims? If so, you might have to entirely opt out of that protection until you have buried the duplicate.

  • @MichaelHampton because they are used to it... I tried to convince them to merge the domains, but no success yet.

  • @anx thanks, it could be a good start for investigating. Their domains are not part of the top-domains list that you sent.
