When you click or tap a link in Safari, you generally don’t know where you’re going to end up. That’s fine most of the time, but what if you’re concerned that a site might be trying to trick you into going somewhere malicious? Safari provides an easy way to look at the URL under a link. In Safari on macOS 27, choose View > Show Status Bar, then hold your pointer over a link to see its full address at the bottom of the window. In Safari on iOS 27, touch and hold a link to preview it. Tap outside the preview to close it, or tap the preview or choose Open to follow the link. The most important thing to look at is the domain—us.norton.com in the screenshots. It should match where you think you’re going, or at least look reasonable. If the URL is dubious, don’t follow the link.
