I think you may be saying this sarcastically, but in response to the comment you...

No sarcasm.

Chrome does not display any significant difference... or if it does, it's too subtle for my 20-40 vision.

Firefox is noticeable, now that you mention it. I never noticed before. A for effort, C- for execution?

Given the security implications, how about bold and blue? Maybe even a bigger font size? It should stand out, no?

Perhaps even a color chosen based on a hash of the domain name, so a visually similar domain name (e.g. goog1e.com) shows in a different color than the user is used to.

I'm in Firefox right now, and it took me four looks to notice that. The contrast could definitely be higher.

I noticed it a while ago, but I think underline or maybe a different colour (blue?) would be much better.

(Are there any scripts that don't work at all with an underline? Bold not working for Chinese is a reason a bold domain isn't really an option.)
