Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Website typo protection is an automatically enabled, typosquatting protection in Microsoft Edge. Upon typing a misspelling of a common domain in Edge, the user will get a notification of the potential typo, and the address bar will include a “Not Secure” badge (similar to when visiting a website without HTTPS). This post provides details for configuring protection if it isn't enabled and includes screenshots of the notifications.
