Chrome on iOS inconsistently renders the origin in the tab selector.

Project Member Reported by mkwst@chromium.org, Jul 19 2017

Issue description

On iOS, loading http://xn--https-5w14d.cf/paypal.com/ displays the correct origin rendering in the omnibox, but renders the padlock emoji in the tab selector. Since we also render the favicon, it's not clear that there's actual security bug here, but it's worth ensuring that we render the origin consistently.

See https://twitter.com/chronic/status/886978532508934144 for a screenshot. I can reproduce it locally as well.

Erring on the side of filing this as a security bug, just in case there are URL spoofing opportunities here that are more concerning than the emoji rendering.

eugenebut@, could you help triage this please?

I'm going to remove security labels; the bug is already public, and in general we don't make too many guarantees about non-security surfaces like tab preview.

(That said, I do think it would be good if we punycode the tab preview when we punycode the omnibox, for minimal confusion.)

Looks like TabSwitcher bug.

I think this is actually WAI. It looks like what we display in the tab switcher is the favicon and the website title, (which for that particular one is 🔒 paypal.com) not the origin. We don't punycode titles, do we? Also this seems no different than if we were showing google.com on the tab switcher for a site that has <title>google.com</title>.

#6 correct. That's a title, not a URL, which is not a security indicator and can easily be spoofed. As long as the address bar shows the right thing, we're happy.

I think it's safe to WontFix this.
