Security threats have crypto embattled lately, with the recent spike in DNS hijacks (e.g. CoW Swap and eth.limo) being among the most sinister vectors for everyday users. You go to a frontend, and everything looks normal so you fire off a transaction, but it's a trap that sends your funds to an attacker's wallet. It's hard to catch before it's too late.
A potential defense here is to make it so you don't have to catch anything. In other words, use decentralized frontend alternatives that structurally can't serve middleman attacks because they can't be intermediated.
